The image depicts a black and white drawing of the Madonna and child. The Madonna sits on a crescent moon, which has a tassel at the bottom. She wears a head covering and a dress. Her right arm supports the child while her left arm guides the child's hand to her mouth. The child appears to be naked. The Madonna and child are surrounded by lines radiating from behind them, indicating light. There are stars in the sky around them. The Madonna looks down at the child. The overall composition suggests a religious scene. The style appears to be detailed and intricate, characteristic of Albrecht Dürer's work.
