Christ is depicted in three-quarter profile, facing to his left and standing at the centre of a half-length figural group. He supports a small infant on his left arm and with his right hand he touches another one held by its mother. The donors are positioned either side of him: on the left a man, his deceased first wife and son, wearing a shroud and on the right presumably his second wife. The donor touches the right arm of Jesus. On the right-hand side of the painting there are three mothers with infants, one of them is breastfeeding. Another mother and child is shown in the background on the left, as well as four disciples tiered one behind the other.
