Description:
A crowned Virgin with naked Child sits under a Gothic canopy in an engraving by Israhel van Meckenem. She bares her breast which she squeezes with her left hand. Bernard with his hands clasped in prayer and with his crozier leaning on his right shoulder kneels before her. In the background is a hilly landscape.
