Description:
A nimbed Bernard with a crozier leaning on his right shoulder is falling on his knees before the apparition of the Virgin and Child enthroned on a dark cloud in the sky. An open book lies on the ground. Landscape background. The Virgin does not bare her breast and it is therefore not a Lactation image. Nor is it a Doctrina as Bernard is not at a desk writing.
