This painting shows a woman with a red hood, holding a baby in her lap. The baby is naked and has a cloth wrapped around his waist. To the right, a young girl with a gold and white headpiece is looking down at the baby. The woman's dress is red, and she has a white and gold top underneath. The girl is wearing a dark green dress. The background is dark, and there are some red and yellow shapes behind the figures. The painting uses chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in the figures.
