Describe: We can see four and in the center is a small child. The Donor is on his knees asking the woman and child for something.  

Analyze:

There are many light colors in this piece, but the main contrast is between everyone's cloak and the Donor's cloak. 

Interpret:

I think that this painting is the Donor asking something of what appears to be baby Jesus and Mary, and Jesus is in way blessing him. 

Judge: I like this painting because of all the soft colors.
