This is a drawing of a woman reclined in a bed with an infant on a pillow and a figure pointing upwards. The scene depicts an interior setting where a woman is lying on a bed, her head resting on large cushions. Beside her, there is an open space where a figure is standing with upraised hands. Nearby, a woman is attending to an infant on a pillow at the foot of the bed. In the upper left corner, there is a crowned figure holding a child, surrounded by clouds. The room features fabric textures, such as drapery and the bedding, and architectural elements like brickwork and windows. The scene is detailed with lines and shading, resembling woodcut or engraving techniques. The text below the image is in a Gothic script.
