Detailed Description
A vertical rectangular painting depicts a central woman holding an infant, flanked by two men, set against a landscape. In the center, the woman is shown from the waist up, with fair skin and dark brown hair parted in the middle. She wears a red dress with a blue cloak draped over her shoulders and lap. A thin gold halo encircles her head. She gazes slightly downward and to the right, holding a nude, plump infant with fair skin on her lap. The infant, with light brown hair, looks upward and to the left, holding a small cluster of red berries in its left hand. To the central woman's left, a younger man with fair skin, short brown hair, and a gold halo looks upward and to the right. He wears a long brown garment. To the central woman's right, an older man with fair skin, a long dark brown beard, and a gold halo looks directly forward. He wears a red robe. Behind the figures, a green landscape with rolling hills and sparse, tall trees extends to the horizon. Distant light-colored buildings are visible on the hills under a pale blue sky. The bottom edge of the painting features a dark brown band, on which faint white text is visible: 'Preccia donfaber +'.
