The Madonna in full figure, with a slight turn to the right, head in 3/4 profile. She wears a golden brown dress with a wide neckline and a wide skirt, the brown coat is in very curvy folds; she carries the child on her left arm. The background is green and broken by golden with brown tendrils. Skin bright greenish-yellow.
