The Virgin Mary sits on a grassy bench wearing a long dress and a head covering. She holds the Christ child and looks down at him. The child is held against her chest. The woman's dress folds around her in layers and she sits on a cloth or blanket. In front of her on the ground is a book with a monogram on the cover. The background includes horizontal and vertical lines indicating a fence with posts and grasses growing behind it. A bare branch rises on the left side behind the woman, with a small plaque indicating the year 1503. The image is rendered in grayscale with detailed textures and shading.
