Detailed Description
A circular painting depicts a kneeling woman, two babies, and another figure in a landscape setting. On the right, a woman kneels, facing left, with her hands clasped together. She wears a deep blue cloak with a yellow lining over a lighter blue dress. Her head is bowed, covered by a sheer white veil and a dark band, with a faint halo above her head. On the left, another figure, with curly brown hair and wearing a deep red tunic with dark sleeves, kneels or crouches, facing right. This figure holds one baby, partially wrapped in white cloth, who looks down at the second baby. The second baby lies on a light blue cloth on the green ground in the bottom center, looking up and to the left, with one hand near its mouth. Both babies are mostly nude, with minimal white coverings. In the background, a green landscape with rolling hills, scattered trees, and a body of water is visible under a light blue sky. Dark, blocky architectural structures are visible on the right and partially on the left, framing the scene.
