The Virgin sits under an apple tree wearing a red robe. She inclines her head slightly to the left and looks at the beholder while supporting the naked infant Christ on her lap with her hands. Eight putti are depicted sleeping and cleaning themselves at the edge of a fountain in the background or collecting apples from the tree. A ninth putto gives an apple to the infant Christ.
