A cloth bearing the face of Christ is framed at the center of an elaborate gold surround, flanked by two sculpted figures. The image of Christ’s face appears directly on the white veil, with long dark hair falling to either side and a parted beard. His expression is calm and solemn, with wide, dark eyes that gaze outward, and a faint shadow beneath his nose and lips.

The veil itself is painted with loose, visible brushstrokes, especially around the edges, where the white fabric blends softly into the dark oval background. The gold frame surrounding the veil is richly ornamented, with stylized curves and a radiating pattern at the top, painted to suggest carved wood or gilded metal. On either side of the central image, two nude putti stand on tiptoe, each raising one arm to touch the upper corners of the frame, their bodies modeled with subtle shading and patches of worn paint.

Both putti wear only a gold sash at the waist, and their poses create a sense of movement, as if supporting or presenting the sacred image. At the bottom center of the frame, a small cherub’s head with wings is painted in gold, adding to the sense of heavenly presence. The composition is symmetrical, with the putti mirroring each other and the face of Christ placed precisely at the center.

The paint surface shows a combination of smooth and textured areas, with the face rendered in fine detail and the veil and frame handled more broadly. This theme belongs to the tradition of religious art, as indicated by the genre listed in the museum’s record.
