At the front, to the viewer's left, sits a dark-haired Virgin Mary in a red dress with a gold shawl. The Christ Child, wearing only a gauzy drape, stands on her left knee, with his right leg straight and left knee bent as he leans over to pick a flower from a basket held out to him by a kneeling angel in white, positioned at the front of the painting to the viewer's right. In the shadowy back of the painting Joseph leans over a wall on which his crossed hands rest, gazing at the scene in front of him. A long staff of some kind leans against his body and extends into the space beyond his left shoulder.
