The image depicts a seated woman holding a baby on her lap. She is leaning forward, supporting the baby with both arms, looking affectionately downward. Her facial features are soft and serene, with smooth hair wrapped in a cloth covering her head. She is dressed in flowing garments, and both figures have halos above their heads. The baby is swaddled in fabric similar to the woman's clothing. The setting includes outlines of a structure, a simple landscape with distant hills, and a shining star in the sky.
