Descrizione dell’immagine
The image shows a woman holding a small child against her chest. She is standing on a crescent moon, wearing a long red robe. The woman has long flowing hair, a serene expression, and a large crown on her head with a halo surrounding it. The child is unclothed with curly hair, looking up at the woman. The background features golden rays, and there are depictions of foliage at their feet on a light yellow backdrop.
