A vertically oriented hand-colored illustration depicts the Virgin Mary holding the wounded Christ in her lap, both with light skin tones and gold halos. Mary wears a patterned blue robe, gazing down as she cradles Christ's pale body against a wooden cross. The scene is framed by red and marbled columns. Below, Latin text begins with an ornate blue letter "S" decorated with red flowers, gold vine-work, and green leaves.
