Devotional scene in which it is possible to appreciate a small infant that is being appealed by an angel that points out with his hand the good way. In Christianity, the guardian angel or guardian would be the one that God has appointed to each person to protect him. Hence, he is usually represented as a guide for life understood as a path, as is the case here. The fact that the artist has represented the faithful with the figure of a child emphasizes even more this protective role that the guardian angel fulfills with respect to the defenseless Christian soul.
