Mary suckled her son Jesus Christ , which thus drinks breast milk from her breast.
The atmosphere of the painting is of great intimacy. Jesus clasps his mother's breast between his small hands, while turning his head to stare at the viewer. The artist dwells on the detail of the blue hood dropped from the Virgin's head and the wrinkled sheet enveloping Jesus, with one end falling over his mother's wrist. Refined accents of gilding accent the Virgin's hair, the green lining of the hood and the red cuff of her dress.
