A vertically oriented tempera painting in an arched frame depicts the Virgin Mary and baby Christ, both with light skin tones. Mary kneels with hands pressed together, looking down at the nude Christ lying on a cloth. Mary wears a red gown under a dark cloak. Behind on our left, the winged Raphael leads Tobias. A winding river and spindly trees recede through the landscape. The base bears Latin text "VERBVM CARO FACTVM EST".
