The image shows a full view illustration of several figures in a classical composition. Central to the image is a seated woman holding a nude child on her lap. She is surrounded by standing and kneeling figures, including a bearded man kneeling at her side and a monkish man standing behind him. Another woman stands to the right, and a nun in a veil is kneeling. Two cherubic children sit on the ground, one with a book. The clothing of all figures is flowing, with drapery folds. In the background, there is a subtle suggestion of a landscape with trees, a plain backdrop, and a crouched lion in the lower left corner.
