The stylized canon of this work, and the palette used bring us aesthetically close to the work of Jorge Manuel Theotocópuli, son of the famous El Greco. Jorge Manuel was artistically trained in his father's workshop, where he worked until his father's death. Although it is true that throughout his career he participated alone in other projects as an architect and painter. His pictorial work was distinguished by continuing with the aesthetic precepts of his father. However, where he especially excelled was in the field of architecture; he even designed the building of the Toledo City Hall, in addition to being ordained master builder of the primate cathedral.
