The image depicts three figures: an adult and two children. The adult figure is seated, with one knee raised, portrayed with wings. She has a contemplative expression, with her hair tied back, draped in a loose garment, and holding a small object. The two children are naked, with one standing and leaning against the adult, and the other crouched and reaching towards the adult while holding a long stick. In the background, there is a wall with the inscription "CHARITAS / VIRTVS / ISP." The setting is simple, focusing on the figures, with the floor visible beneath them and a landscape line in the background.
