A painting of a bust length Madonna, bowing her head (covered with a long gold cloth) toward the left edge of the painting. She wears a somber colored robe over a white undergarment. Her hands are crossed over her breast, right hand over left. In her left hand she clutches a white cloth. At the bottom left of the painting, on a stone ledge, sits a gold chalice filled with red liquid. Next to it are instruments of Christ's Passion, and blood stains. On the edge of the ledge, at the very bottom of the painting, is this inscription in all capital letters: “Non vi si pensa quanto sangue costa” ("No one thinks of how much blood it costs").
