Description:
The half-figure of a youthful Bernard sits at a table on which is an open book lying on another red book and some paper. He is looking up at the Virgin behind him in an exchange of glances. The Virgin has the naked Child on her knee. Peering down at the baby are St Joseph and St Anthony of Padua. See also PA137.
