The image shows a scene with various human figures. In the center, a seated woman holds a child on her lap. Surrounding them are figures with angelic features, some playing musical instruments. The people are dressed in classical robes. A male figure with a beard stands to the left, while another kneeling figure in armor holds a banner to their right. Two cherubic figures flank the top of the image. The background shows clouds. The platform where the central figures sit has a relief depicting smaller figures. The scene is framed within an ornate border on an off-white page.
