The drawing shows a woman seated, holding an infant in her lap, with two cherubic figures standing beside her. The woman's head is slightly bowed, her eyes cast downward, and her hair styled with a halo above her head. She is draped in flowing robes, seated on a stone structure. The infant is nestled against her chest, and the cherubic figures stand beside her, one touching the drapery. The background includes a large vertical column and draped fabric, suggesting an indoor setting. The artwork is monochromatic, rendered in shades of sepia.
