A white marble sculpture depicting two figures is centered in the frame. The primary figure, identified as the Virgin Mary, is seated and draped in voluminous robes, her head partially covered by a cowl. Her left arm is raised, palm open, and a golden circlet of stars serves as a halo behind her head. Her head is tilted slightly down and to her left. To her left, standing on the throne, is a smaller figure, identified as the infant Jesus, mostly nude with drapery around the waist, holding a leafy garland or branch in his extended left hand. Both figures are positioned on an ornate, multi-tiered wooden throne with carved details and gold elements. In the lower right foreground, two white orchid plants with multiple blooms are visible. The background features a polished red-brown marble wall with subtle lighter veining, adorned with a repeating vertical golden geometric pattern. A gilded decorative frieze runs horizontally near the top, above which fluted columns with gold accents are partially visible on the left. The scene is illuminated from the left. This sculpture is located within the Basilica di Santa Maria in Aracoeli in Rome, Italy.
