The Virgin Mary sits on a throne made of clouds. She holds a lily and supports the naked infant Christ, who stands on her thigh. She is surrounded by child angels – two hold a golden crown over her head and another two carry lit tapers at her side. The little angel peering out from beneath her gown appears to be conducting the child musicians who play the rebec (a precursor of the violin) and duct flute below.
