The white stone image is by the sculptor Marino Amaya of Astorga, known the world over as the sculptor of children.
The statue stands atop a tall square-section pillar of rusticated ashlars, each side has a plain pilaster engaged in it with a Corinthian capital. The whole stands on a plinth with two rusticated pilasters engaged in each corner, and is by the architect Cañas del Río. It was unveiled on the 3rd June 1956.
