The image shows multiple figures, both adults and children, in a busy composition. A woman in the center holds an infant, draped in fabric, with other women around her. One woman holds a bowl beside the seated woman, while another stands with a basket on her head. The people have classical facial features common in Renaissance art. An older bearded man near the center appears to have a glowing halo. The individuals wear flowing garments. In the clouds above, an older figure with a robe and beard is surrounded by cherubs or angelic children. The background has swirling clouds around the divine figures looking down on the earthly gathering.
