Deutsche Grafik 1470–1480, 1480/1490

The image displays a full view of a seated woman's body, who is holding a small child in her lap. The woman is upright, facing forward, with long, wavy hair flowing down past her shoulders. The child also faces forward and has curly hair. Both individuals wear crowns with halos depicted around their heads, and two winged figures above and on either side. The woman is dressed in a flowing robe in shades of orange and beige, with intricate folds and patterns. They are surrounded by lush greenery, with a deep blue background and an ornate border in earthy tones and hints of red.
