An oil painting depicting a woman on her deathbed. A man (Joseph?) kneels at her feet, resting his head on the blanket by her arm. The Virgin Mary stands by the bed, leaning over to hold her mother's right hand in her left. Her right hand reaches down to the right shoulder of the child Jesus standing in front of her. He holds up his right arm and hand, possibly in blessing. Cherubim look on from the sides.
