The image shows a group of four figures from their waists upwards. Three figures are seated while one stands. They are gathered around a sleeping child on a soft surface, possibly a cushion. The child has a serene expression, eyes closed, and curled hair. One figure seated on the right holds the child, while another on the left looks at them. The background figure stands with voluminous hair and large wings. All figures are dressed in flowing garments with intricate folds. The setting appears to be an interior space with a hint of a landscape seen through a window or arch in the background.
