Dedicated to Juan Manuel Moscoso y Peralta as Bishop of Córdoba, this portable devotional painting brings together Our Lady of the Rosary, the Holy Trinity, Saint Michael and an extensive company of saints. Its original wooden roller and painted case allowed the image to be unrolled for contemplation and then stored. The episcopal dedication supports a date around 1771–1778, while stylistic and historical evidence underpins the proposed attribution to Tomás Cabrera and probable origin in Salta.
