This painting is a large, ornate altarpiece. It is divided into many small panels, each with its own scene. The central panel shows a woman in a blue dress, holding a baby.

There are also scenes of angels and other figures. The painting is very detailed and colorful. The artist used a lot of gold and blue to create a sense of luxury and importance.
