content: The Child raises his right hand. The woman kneeling at left holds in her left hand a book, the cover of which bears the letters "I O". She stretches her right hand out to hold the Child. The woman kneeling at right tries to lift the Child by supporting his back with both her hands. Both seen in profile. A drapery covers the front of the altar. A tablet is in front of it, with the inscription "D I O . G". The room looks like a vaulted crypt, with "S H I" written at the back wall. Framing line. The outlines of the tablet are re-drawn on the verso. Written on it: "Ho 28".
