The painting depicts a tender scene of the Madonna holding a baby, with a cherub beside her. The Madonna is dressed in a robe and head covering, while the baby is wearing a simple garment. The cherub is positioned on the right side of the image, looking at the Madonna and baby. The scene is rendered in a classical style, with soft lines and gentle facial expressions. The Madonna's gaze is directed downward, while the baby looks up at her. The cherub's face is turned toward the Madonna and baby, conveying a sense of devotion. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Della Bella, Giovanni.
