This votive image was wide-spread
in seventeenth-century Spain. It
represents an Agnus Dei or “Lamb of
God,” in allusion to Christ's
sacrificial death to save humanity.
The straightforward composition
consists exclusively of an image of
the young animal with its legs
bound, lying on a windowsill and
brightly light by a single light
source.
