She has a piece of drapery wrapped around her and the child has his right arm raised above his head. The child is looking forwards and has his torso turned towards the right, while the Virgin Mary looks to the left. The drawing has a circular composition within the square of the picture plane as the curve of the Virgin Mary's arm moves round into the side of the Christ child.
