The Virgin is seated on a bench and occupies the central axis. She inclines her head slightly to the left and looks at the viewer, while the infant Christ stands on a brocade cushion on her lap. She supports him and he puts his arms around her neck. The Virgin's reddish blonde hair cascades in long curls over her shoulders and down her back, leading the viewer's eye to the arrangement of the folds. This consists of a bluish-green undergarment and a red coat with a greenish-orange shimmering lining. Over the bench a trellis extends to a bower that is covered with vines and grapes. A broad mountainous landscape extends behind the Virgin.
