The figures in this painting form a close knit composition. The Madonna and Child dominate the centre of the picture and they are accompanied by two cherubs on either side. This painting was part of a collection of 117 works belonging to the industrialist and engineer F.D. Lycett Green and bequeathed to York through the Art Fund, in 1955, in recognition of the remarkable efforts made after the Second World War by its curator to transform it into a gallery of international importance.
