content: The Virgin sits on a bank in the open. The Child stands in her lap. She puts her hand upon his head which she intends to kiss. Beside her, at right, lies the globe. Behind her head is a big light hemi-circle, apparently the sun. Cherubim are in the clouds and at left; partly in the hemi-circle is a group of apparently a sitting male figure and a child. Verso: Other side: with little variations the same composition in the in the opposite direction. Without the globe. Two figures in clouds, with, apparently, a third figure beside. Each drawing with framing line.
