A painting depicting a woman with her hands clasped in prayer. The woman wears a black head covering and robe over a red dress. She has a halo behind her head. A naked baby with curly hair and a halo sits to her left on a cushion. A small bird stands on the floor next to the baby. The background is gold with decorative lines and patterns. The woman appears to be looking down at the child. The child appears to be holding something in their right hand. The overall color palette is muted. The style appears to be Renaissance.
