The image depicts a woman seated with a child on her lap. The woman is leaning forward, looking down with eyes partially closed. She has long, straight hair, partially covered by a veil, and is wearing a draped gown with long sleeves. The unclothed child is reaching outward and held securely by the woman. The scene includes animals, plants, and a pastoral setting with a wooden building, shepherds, and hills in the background. A star shines above among clouds.
