The artwork depicts a central figure of the Virgin Mary, surrounded by angels in a celestial setting. The drawing's dynamic composition and the use of a delicate wash of brown ink contribute to the ethereal feel of the artwork.

Mondo's drawing exemplifies his ability to convey a sense of movement and spiritual transcendence.
