Detailed Description
A group of figures is depicted against a dark background, with a faint light source in the upper left. On the left, a seated woman looks down at an open book she holds. She wears a light-colored head covering, a pink and gold-tan upper garment, and a blue lower garment. A halo encircles her head. A child sits on her lap, dressed in a white tunic, looking forward with his right hand resting on the woman's arm. To the right, a bearded man in a white robe kneels, looking up and gesturing with both hands. Behind him, a man with a dark beard and red drapery holds a staff. Further back, another bearded man with a halo holds a large wooden cross over his shoulder and a set of keys in his left hand. Another bearded man is partially visible behind him. Between the woman and the kneeling man, two female figures with halos or crowns are visible, looking towards the right. The figures are arranged in a semi-circular grouping, with the central woman and child on the left, and the other figures gathered on the right.
