Saint Anne is dressed in white lying in a crimson-draped tall bed.
She hands Baby Mary to a woman in blue and yellow. In the foreground, one woman pours water into a basin and another takes a cloth out a basket. The windows on the left and right illustrate Bible passages, Noah on the left and Balaam on the right.
