The image shows a person kneeling with hands clasped in front of them, facing an altar with intricate patterns. The individual wears a long robe with fur trim on the shoulders and has curly shoulder-length hair. On the altar is a painting or panel of Madonna and Child with ornate decorations. Two candlesticks are on either side. Through an arched doorway in the background is a pastoral landscape with a horse rider and distant church steeple among trees under a partly cloudy sky.
