The painting depicts a serene scene of the Virgin Mary cradling the infant Christ, who is drinking wine from a red cup. The Virgin's long, reddish-brown hair cascades down her back, and she wears a blue dress with a red cloak draped over her shoulders. Her right hand gently holds the cup to the infant's lips, while her left hand supports his body. In the background, a landscape unfolds, featuring a body of water, trees, and a distant mountain range. The overall atmosphere of the painting exudes tranquility and intimacy.
