Source Description
The Virgin, with her eyes raised, and her arms extending gracefully from her sides, ascends heavenward accompanied by six cherubs. Diaz has dispensed with the overt religious symbolism, the crescent moon, the clasped hands and the histrionic gestures associated with 17th-century Italian and Spanish precedents for this subject.
