About this work

This painting depicts a nativity scene in which a seated woman in a red-lined cloak gestures toward a naked infant on white cloth, while bearded men and a woman in a white headdress look on. A white ox with curved horns occupies the foreground beside a lantern, and the dark interior is lit warmly.
