Retablo of the Santo Niño de Atocha

A painted wooden retablo shows a child figure in a wide-brimmed dark hat and long patterned robe with red dots, holding a staff in one hand and a basket of red items in the other. Red and cream draped curtains frame the figure against a pale background, with a dark wooden border around the panel.
