Copper engraving made by Juan Francisco Rosa, master engraver. His intaglio production was mainly religious prints. Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza is a Marian invocation of the Virgin Mary, known and greatly venerated in Spain. The image wears a suit of triangular composition, standing on cherubs, with the Child in her arms, and wears a crown on her head. Towards the background and to one side is a landscape with a church from Andújar, where it is venerated. At the feet, to one side, is the shepherd to whom he appeared in profile.
