Altarpiece with a base of three houses, a main body with three columns, and a quadrangular top. The whole piece has gold walls with plateresque motifs, angels, cupids, and fantastical beings, and sits on a wide base. The iconography focuses on the history of Aragon and Zaragoza. The work is Renaissance in style, with Jerónimo Cósida reflecting Italian and Nordic influences as well as Durero style. The refined faces and palette of ochers, pinks, blues, greens, and violets are inherent to the artist. The female figures are delicate, especially Saint Engratia, who is wearing a typical outfit of the period and stands in a slight contrapposto stance.
