Detailed Description
A vertical, rectangular black and white artwork depicts a central seated woman holding a child, surrounded by other figures. The background features a grid of small 'X' shapes within squares, bordered by a decorative band at the top. In the center, a woman with a halo sits, facing slightly right, her head tilted towards the child she holds on her left hip. She wears a patterned dress and a veil. The child, also with a halo, looks up at her, reaching one arm towards her face. The woman holds a small cluster of flowers in her right hand. To the left of the seated woman, a bearded man with a halo stands, facing right, holding a large sword vertically in his right hand. He wears a long, dark robe. To the right, another bearded man with a halo stands, facing left, holding a large set of keys in his left hand. He wears a long robe and a cloak secured by a brooch. Both standing men have their inner hands near the seated woman's knees. In the upper left and right corners, two smaller, winged figures with halos are visible, looking downwards towards the central group. The figures stand on a patterned surface at the bottom, similar to the background.
