Three figures tightly grouped against a dark background: the Virgin on the left, wearing a red-orange robe, green-blue mantle and a light veil on the head, lowering her gaze toward the Child. Saint Anne on the right, elderly, with a marked face and an ochre-brown cloth on her head, smiling as she looks at the Child and supporting him with both hands on the belly. The Child, curly and blond, sits on the knees with a white cloth at the hips, his face turned upward and his right arm extended toward Anne. At the bottom left, a hand of the Virgin touches the Child’s foot.
