DescriptionA man with a beard and mustache stands in an open grassy area. He wears a long robe, belted at the waist, and a cloak. He is barefoot. His head is surrounded by a halo. He holds a child in the crook of his right arm and a stalk of Easter lilies in his left hand. The child wears a short tunic and holds a globe surmounted by a cross. Flowers, including roses and tulips, are at the left and right. Two small child angels, one with his hands clasped in prayer, are in clouds on either side of the central figure. Two small cherubs with heads and wings are higher in the sky.
