On either side, between this relief and the Virgin\u2019s niche, stand figures of Saint Joseph with the Child and Saint Anne with the Virgin. In the lateral bays of the second register are four sculptures representing Saint Peter, Saint Andrew, Saint Thomas Aquinas, and Saint Vincent Ferrer. This sculptural ensemble, executed by Francisco de Barahona, exemplifies a naturalistic Baroque realism.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">The third register is dominated by a sculpture of Saint Dominic placed within a niche framed by two small Solomonic columns. The figure wears the habit of the Dominican Order, its iconographic clarity outweighing the refinement of its execution.

The works are attributed to Juan de Oviedo and Miguel Ad\u00e1n, with greater participation by the latter. They exhibit a marked classicism and refined softness in their carving, recalling the stylistic influence of Jer\u00f3nimo Hern\u00e1ndez, whose works are also present in this convent.<\/p><p>Carved in Genoese marble, each figure rests upon a richly decorated cushion. Do\u00f1a Juana de Z\u00fa\u00f1iga is depicted wearing a religious habit and mantle, the folds of which are finely rendered in marble; her hair falls smoothly. By contrast, her daughter\u2019s hair is softly waved, lending a more youthful and expressive character\u2014she was twenty-nine at the time of her death. Catalina is attired according to the fashion of her period, wearing a voluminous mantle and an ornate lace ruff, and holding a devotional book. Within each niche appears the noble coat of arms of the Z\u00fa\u00f1iga family, originally polychromed.<\/p><p>Additionally, on either side of the altar stand two recently installed kneeling sculptures of Do\u00f1a Juana de Z\u00fa\u00f1iga and her daughter Catalina. These are copies of the originals preserved in the Mud\u00e9jar cloister (Claustrillo) of the Cartuja of Seville.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
