However, the painting remained unfinished as Leonardo departed for Milan the following year. The unfinished masterpiece depicts the Virgin Mary and child Jesus with the Magi kneeling in adoration, and a group of people surrounding them.

The subject was very popular for artworks and was depicted numerous times during the Renaissance.

He holds a reed cross in his left hand while his right-hand points up toward heaven like that of Saint Anne in Leonardo's Burlington House Cartoon
