The delivery was made by the Director of Fine Arts and Cultural Heritage, Enrique Ujaldón.
Juana Guardiola, Councillor for Culture, expressed his satisfaction that the size is already restored "after having experienced a deep work of restoration in which the state has recovered the original image, so I congratulate the restored downtown Regional Restoration. "
The size of Santa Catalina is the oldest of the current existing in Jumilla, except for the Monastery of Santa Ana, despite the quality of the work, was very misleading because several layers of repainting, mutilation and blinding in some of the parts of a restoration in 1895 as indicated by the inscription on its base.
In the recovery process detected several layers of paint that masked an original color in which there is a large sun on the mantle in the back.
The councilman of Culture added that "as soon as the Ethnographic Museum reopened, the size will be installed in its usual place in the Museum and will be a presentation of the restoration process itself, by one of Regional Center restorers. "
