The painting shows St Anne supporting the naked infant Christ on her lap. He holds a beaded chain up to the youthful Virgin who is seated on their left. She fingers one of the beads with her right hand and has placed her left one on an open book, resting on her knee. St Anne's head is at the apex of a triangular shape that frames the group, making it stand out against the landscape in the background.
