Virgin and Child, She is seated on a platform with her head slightly to the left, supporting with her right hand the naked Child lying on her lap, while with her left she offers it a fruit. The Kins looks at her, grasps the fruit with one hand and holds up the other to her. Mary's right foot rests on the inverted crescent moon, the left finds support on the ground.

Around the back of the head a cloth is tied, which leaves a large part of the wavy hair free, hangs back, then is draped like a collar over the shoulders and chest and held there together by a brooch. She wears earrings and has a trinket in her hair. A slip of the cloth, on which the Child lies, hangs off over her right arm. In the back of Mary's head a hole for a nimbus., sculptor: anonymous, Southern Netherlands, c. 1550, marble (rock), height 12.2 cm × width 6 cm × depth 4 cm
