The image depicts a seated woman wearing a long dress; the woman has short hair and holds a distaff. A child, likely a toddler, is on her lap; the child holds a rosary. A second child sleeps on the right side. A curtain tied to the right reveals a window; through the window, the sky and buildings are visible. A basket with apples is present. The scene includes a dark room or cave. The woman, child, and sleeping infant are under a halo of light. The artwork is monochromatic with shades of black, white, and gray. A signature is at the bottom.
