The image depicts the upper body of a seated woman holding an infant in her lap. The woman is slightly angled towards the viewer, looking down at the child with gentle expression. She has soft facial features, wavy shoulder-length hair with a veil, and is dressed in a richly textured gown. The baby has curly hair and is reclining against the woman's chest. In the background, there is a landscape with hills and a structure resembling a small tower or church.
