The image displays an illustration of a seated person from the upper body to the feet. The person is sitting on a chair with a regal posture, holding a staff in one hand and a basket in the other. They have a stylized face, simple facial features, and a distinctive hairstyle. The person is adorned in a long garment with a greenish-blue lower part and a red top, accompanied by a cape. Decorative urns with red flowers flank the figure, and above them is a blue, curtain-like shape. The words "EL SANTO NINO DE ATOCHA" are located below the image, set against a plain beige background.
