A vertically oriented tempera painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ child, both with light skin tones and elongated faces encircled by ornate gold halos. Mary wears a dark blue mantle over a red garment, while Christ wears a patterned gold tunic and holds a scroll reading "EGO SVM LVX MVNDI." Two angels with floral wreaths in their hair flank them against a gold background. Significant cracking covers the paint surface and weathered frame.
