A circular oil painting centers the Virgin Mary, in a red gown and blue cloak, supporting the nude Christ Child as he stands on a ledge. To the left, an angel with clasped hands gazes inward. To the right, another angel and the young John the Baptist, hands joined in prayer, look toward Christ. All figures have light skin tones and thin golden halos against a landscape that stretches toward a blue sky.
