A winged angel raises their arms in the gesture of placing a simple crown on the head of the Virgin Mary, seated, with baby Jesus on her lap. She sits upright, on a tasseled cushion on a wooden bench, her gaze directed calmly toward the viewer. She is haloed by blank space on the page, cutting a bright circle from the regular, thin lines that define the sky behind her. Her face is round and smooth with small features, and her hair flows out behind her shoulders in long, neat ringlets. Her dress falls over her bottom half, to the ground, in neat, bright folds, which crinkle into smaller folds as the fabric reaches her feet. The Christ Child on her lap is dressed in a ruffled garment, his pudgy arms, legs, and feet exposed. He looks disinterestedly away and to the left. His right arm is held out, and a small bird is perched on his hand. A halo in the form of a cross emanates from his head, articulated by white space punctuated with thin, straight lines.The section of the scene before him is illuminated brightly, and the portion at his back is distinctly darker. To the left of the group, and in the background, a band of curling clouds stretches over a medieval waterside town, with a church visible rising above other structures.
