She has a crown on her head and is looking up at a man who is holding a spear. There are several other people in the background, some of whom are looking at the woman and baby. The scene is set outdoors, with trees and hills visible in the distance. The sky is cloudy, and the overall mood of the painting is one of serenity and tranquility.
