Madonna, Child, St. Francis, St. Antony, and St. Dominique, The Virgin sits, raised on an altar, with the Christ child standing in her lap. Three saints are crowded around, one behind, looking up at the child, one kneeling on the altar and hugging a porting of the Virgin's dress, and one in front of the altar gazing up at the child. Two of the saints carry flowers, and two carry a book. The child and the front-most saint both hold necklaces in their hands. The Virgin has a subtle halo. A portion of the altar seems incomplete, making the painting seem unfinished.
