This print shows a woman standing and holding a child by her hip. Her body is slightly turned to the left, but her head is turned towards us. She has pale skin and brown hair covered by a blue hooded shawl that she wears, which features long fringe at the sleeves. Below the shawl she appears to wear a green-and-red garment with long sleeves. The child also has pale skin and curly brown hair. They are wearing a red tunic and holding a small scroll in their left hand. The woman has a large red halo around her head, filled with thin green lines that radiate from her. The child also has a halo of red lines radiating from their head. Surrounding the pair is an ornate architectural frame with colorful decorative elements and an inscription at the bottom. The background is off-white.
