A collage consisting of three layers of images including a reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's cartoon known as the Burlington House Cartoon, which is in the National Gallery in London that shows only the heads of the Virgin Mary and her mother St. Anne. Placed in front of this image is a contemporary magazine page displaying a young woman with arms over her head holding a horizontal rod. In front of this is a section of fabric wallpaper with a scroll allover design. The work is framed with an ornate moulding that is integral to the work.
