DescriptionA woman wearing a long-sleeved dress with undersleeves, a robe, and a veil, stands on a crescent moon. Stars surround her head. Her hands are crossed on her breast, and her left foot rests on the head of a large snake with a small piece of fruit in its mouth. The curved surface beneath probably represents the globe of the world. Flowers, including roses, are at the left, right, and in the foreground. Two small child angels with their hands clasped in prayer are in the clouds at the upper left and upper right. The heads and wings of three additional cherubs are above. Rays of light radiate from a dove between them.
