The Virgin holds the infant Christ, who sits on the altar, while turning to Simeon the old man on the left. He is wearing priest's vestments. Incense is being burned in front of the altarpiece. A number of other people bear witness to the event, among them a young woman behind the Virgin, who is carrying two doves that will be sacrificed for Jesus in the temple.
