Description.
Oil on panel. The image of the "unexpected joy" represents a legend about a thief, which began to spread in the middle of the 18th century. He had a life full of sins, but he bowed down to the image of the Mother of God for protection. On one occasion, Our Lady spoke and said: "You and other vicious sinners are hurting and crucifying My Son over and over again, like the ancient pagans". After this, the thief led a humble life.
