This Renaissance-style tondo (circular painting) depicts a tender maternal scene against a dark background. The composition features a central figure in blue and red garments holding two cherubic infants. All three figures wear golden halos, suggesting their divine nature. The infants are portrayed nude with rosy complexions and curly golden hair. The intimate grouping is arranged in a triangular composition within the circular frame, creating a sense of harmony and balance. The painting employs soft modeling and warm flesh tones, characteristic of the period. Rich colors dominate - particularly the deep blue drapery and crimson fabric - while the dark background makes the figures appear to emerge from shadow. The work is housed in an ornate gilded frame featuring elaborate baroque-style carved decorations with scrolls, flowers, and architectural elements.
