The Virgin is shown as a seated half-length figure against a dark background, looking directly at the viewer. Her long wavy hair is covered by a transparent veil, that also extends over the head of the infant Christ who embraces his mother. To achieve this he reaches up towards his mother, stretching out both arms and lifting his right leg, while standing with his left leg on his mother's lap. She supports the infant's bottom and upper body.
