The image depicts two figures, a woman seated with a child sleeping on her lap. The woman has her hands clasped in prayer, looking down at the child. She wears a crown on her head, a veil covering her hair, and layered garments with intricate patterns. The child is wrapped in a floral blanket, resting against a cushion. A halo surrounds the woman's head, and there are radiant lines in the background. The image contains an inscription at the bottom.
