This is a drawing of a scene beneath a canopy of trees.  In the center, a child sits on the lap of a woman reclining under a tree. Both figures have halos. A third figure with a halo is standing and approaches the two sitting figures with his arm outstretched. The central group of figures are surrounded by winged angels on either side of the tree. A donkey sits below the tree in the bottom right corner of the image. Rays of light shine down on the scene from the top left of the image.
