It can see that it is a work of maturity, where in spite of the Baroque style that dominates the work, we can see Renaissance airs on the faces of the images full of beauty and sweetness, the quality of execution carvings, the pliegeus of clothing and technical quality carving in relief, playing with lolúmenes and proportions to give the work depth or closeness.

As a curiosity that there is another table in the altarpiece, The Adoration of the Kings also Martinez Montanes, with the same quality and same technique work.
