Loose print made by Marcelo Cabello y Llave (1773-1842), master engraver from Lima. In the central part of the image the crucified Christ is recumbent, on one side is the Virgin Mary standing, and on the other side is Mary Magdalene kneeling. At the top of the cross, the INRI sign. On both sides are the sun and the moon, alluding to the eclipses and telluric movements that occurred at the time of Christ's death on the cross. At the top, the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove and higher up the Eternal Father. These types of simple devotional images were centered on the mural of the Lord of Miracles.
