The image shows a full-body depiction of three figures positioned in a scene of interaction. The central figure stands upright, facing the viewer, wearing a tall hat and a long robe. On either side, two other figures lean slightly toward the central figure. The figure on the left has long hair and a beard, draped in a robe, while the figure on the right also wears a robe and a head covering. All three are engaged in a gesture of joining hands, with the central figure's hands extended toward the hands of the others. There is no noticeable detail of facial features due to the style of the sketch, which is simple and linear. The background consists of a curtained setting with hints of arches and pillars, suggesting an indoor setting. The image is monochromatic.

The image displays a detailed black and white illustration of four figures and a baby. The central focus is on a seated woman holding a baby, with the child's legs being supported by another woman seated beside her. The woman's face is visible, featuring smooth facial features and medium-length hair styled with a headband. She wears a garment with detailed draping, possibly a dress, with some kind of embellishment near the neck. To her left, another woman is bending forward, partially holding the baby, and has her head covered with a headscarf, showing an aged face with prominent features. Behind them, two standing figures are visible; one is an older man with curly hair and a beard, wearing a cloak or robe, leaning slightly to observe the baby. The other is a woman with her head and most of her face covered, holding a string of beads or rosary and possibly wearing layered clothing with a visible belt. The background suggests an outdoor scene with a tall, sturdy tree in the middle, surrounded by sparse foliage and trees, alongside a building with visible windows at the right edge. The artwork is finely detailed with an intricate appearance typical of woodcut or engraving. Above, the image includes a date, 1511, and a monogram.
