The Virgin in a dark blue mantle with a translucent veil over her head holds the Christ child to her exposed left breast. The naked child has fallen asleep. The bearded figure of Joseph stands behind Mary's left shoulder. The figures are in a landscape and there are clouds in the blue sky. Hills with trees and some buildings can be seen over Mary's right shoulder.
