A scene in which the Child walks, hand in hand, with the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph. Above, the Eternal Father and the Holy Spirit with angels on either side are depicted.

This drawing was made in preparation for the signed canvas that was formerly in the convent of Santo Domingo el Real. Another more complete drawing for the same composition is kept at the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Sánchez Cantón attributes it to Pereda.
