This work is one of the inmaculadas by bartolomé esteban murillo with a more youthful appearance, which links it with the sevillian tradition of the also sevillian painter francisco de zurbarán, and with the recommendations on the representation of this theme expressed by francisco pacheco in his arte de la pintura, which he wrote in 1649. In addition, there are several preparatory drawings for this work executed by murillo, which shows that the sevillian painter conscientiously prepared to execute it, and it is known as inmaculada del escorial because it is mentioned for the first time in the royal collections of the el escorial monastery in 1788, during the reign of charles iv of spain.
