This is a traditional representation of the Virgin Mary as the Virgin of Guadalupe. Her figure is surrounded by shining rays of light; the image has a long mantle covering her from head to feet; the mantle's color is sky blue with golden edges adorned with numerous stars. The Virgin is dressed in a pink tunic with brown details. Her head is reclining to the right with a serene expression on her face; both hands are in praying position; on her neck is a golden necklace with a cross in the middle. She's standing on a waning black moon; below is an angel who arises from a white cloud and is holding the lower borders of the mantle. In the lower area is a garland of roses.
