Please tell me, if my syntax is right. I'm totally overstrained with the discription of a sculpture ("madonna and child")

"The sculpture carved in stone has got the sharp of a sitting woman holding a child on her lap. Her face is calm, held high and she's not smiling. Her strong legs are covered in a crinkly skirt standing parallel right next to eacht other and her feet/toes are naked. She's putting the right hand on the shoulder of the child whose face has a serious expression. The bald infant is looking straight ahead an has both legs on the woman's lap. [...]
Madonna means Mary, Mother of Jesus. So the artist created a sculpture of Mary and Jesus with Mary in posture of shelter."
