A light-skinned woman wearing a red and blue robe holds a light-skinned, reclining infant on her lap. She grasps his right ankle. The infant is held on his left side by a nude, light-skinned cherub. A pale woman in a gold robe sits behind the cherub. Behind the woman holding the child to the right is a smiling, light-skinned, bearded man. In front of the woman is a large copper bowl of water. She holds a white cloth in her right hand. Four more nude cherubs stand to her right. In the background is a lake surrounded by hills and houses.
