The painting shows a woman in a blue and red robe sitting on a rocky hillside, holding a baby. The woman's dress is flowing, and her head is tilted down towards the baby. In the background, there are trees, rocks, and a small body of water. The sky is blue with white clouds. A small donkey is sitting next to the woman, looking at the baby. The woman's hands are gently holding the baby, and her face is serene. The overall scene is peaceful and calm. The painting is reminiscent of the work of Joos van Cleve, who was known for his detailed and realistic depictions of religious scenes.
