About this work
She stands on a small mound with the bent right leg forward and the tip of the shoe in the cloak, creating a diagonal fold. The child dressed in a shirt sits on Mary's right hand. She looks pensive ahead; the hair falls in a few thick strands along the temples and in front of the shoulders. She wears over a garment with a round neckline a cloak tied at the chest with a double band, which is held up under both arms, folded over the lap to the right, and under which part of the garment is still visible.
