This is a typical and well-executed retable from this saunter. The graffito drawing along the border is almost a signature detail of his work and the tilting of the retable is very unusual for Fresquis, making this piece especially attractive. San Juan Nepomuceno depictions are important to Penitentes and this example is a classic representation of the gestural qualities of Fresquis in his brush and line work. This retable is especially desirable due to the inscription, the figure's overall presentation in the space and the use of graffito drawing to render a decorative frame to surround the image.
