A vertically oriented oil painting depicts the Virgin Mary and baby Christ with light skin tones and dark hair. Mary wears a red dress and blue mantle, looking down at Christ as he lies across her lap. He gazes up at her, holding a small sprig in one hand. Significant surface loss creates a mottled, golden-brown texture over the figures, set against a dark green background.
