The image is of the blessed Virgin Mary, the Child Jesus with St Francis of Assisi and St Dominic on either side. The only thing artificially added are the two crowns, the rest is the miraculous image in the rock to which they built the Basilica around.
I've read that the style of the image fits that of it's time, and people usually say this to try and discredit it, but of course it does, for otherwise they wouldn't be able to recognise the Blessed Virgin, Child Jesus, St Francis or St Dominic, the only thing that matters is the miraculous nature of the image itself being the natural color of the rock, and then what is in the image IMO.

I would love to find more information on the German Geologists who drilled the rock to find the color several feet deep, unfortunately I haven't been able to find much on who did it and thus what year and their report.
God Bless You
German geologists bored core samples from several spots in the image, they determined there was no paint, no dye, or any other pigment on the surface of the rock; the colors are the colors of the rock itself, and they penetrate into the rock evenly for several feet!
In 1952, Pius XII granted a canonical crowning of Our Lady of Las Lajas, and in 1954, the gothic church erected to house the image was dedicated as a minor basilica, with the presence of the entire Colombian Episcopate.
