A vertically oriented oil painting on wood depicts El Santo Niño de Atocha, a seated child with light skin tone. Facing forward in a feathered hat, red capelet, and striped gown, they hold a staff and basket. Framed by a dark border, the figure is flanked by wheat sheaves against a textured gold background. Bold text on a red band reads, "EL SANTISIMO NIÑO DE ATOCHA." The paint surface is worn and chipped.
