Recto: St Anne stand at the left side of the painting wearing a red robe and a white veil. She appears to be presenting the infant Christ to the youthful Virgin, who is wearing a blue dress. Each of the three heads has a halo. These are only faintly defined against the gold background by their outlines (incised).

Verso: the coat of arms of Duke Johann the Steadfast of Saxony: quartered: on efield with a heart and another with a crest against a brocade pattern in gold and black.
