The artist referred to the Christian motif Madonna on the Crescent. The Madonna holds infant Jesus in her arms who offers her a fruit. She stands on the crescent and treads on the snake.

The present sheet goes back to a watercolour in Washington which in turn is a copy after a European model image: Anonymous Mughal artist, Assumption of the Virgin Mary, Copy after an engraving by a Westphalien or Netherlandish artist of ca. 1520, ink, opaque watercolour and gold on paper, 12,9 x 9,4 cm.
