This is a drawing of a figure observing an apparition of the Virgin Mary and child in a landscape. The scene includes a figure seated on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by trees, gazing upwards toward a vision of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ child. In the background, there is a city with towers and buildings. The figure is holding a book and appears contemplative. The trees are detailed with twisting branches and roots around the figure.
