The image shows a central figure standing with her arms outstretched and gazing upward. She has long curly hair, delicate facial features, and is wearing a flowing gown with gathered sleeves, a belt, and an intricate necklace. In front of her on the ground are a crown and a rosary. Surrounding her are multiple figures, mainly women, dressed in similar attire. To the right, a group of people are gathered on steps leading up to a throne. In the background is a large architectural structure with a celestial display of clouds and cherubic figures illuminated by light.
