The image is a monochromatic illustration depicting two figures, shown from the waist upward. The primary figure is seated, with their body slightly turned to one side, and their head inclined downward to face the second figure. They have delicate facial features and wear a headdress that forms a halo-like circle around their head, adorned with floral patterns. Their hair is partially visible beneath the headdress. They are draped in flowing garments that spread across their seated form in soft folds. The second figure, depicted as a child, is positioned directly in front of the first figure, reaching towards them. The child also has a halo, decorated with lines radiating outward. They are partially wrapped in cloth. The scene is enclosed in a circular border with a decorative geometrical pattern. The background consists of radiating lines emanating from the figures.
