The image shows four figures. Three are seated on a bench, and one is kneeling. The central figure is a woman with a child on her right knee. She has soft eyes, a halo, a headdress covering her hair, and a red robe with green drapery underneath. Beside her is a young girl with a halo, long blond hair, and a dress. To the right, a smaller figure is kneeling with clasped hands. All figures have halos. The background features ornate gold designs framing the upper section of the image.
