About this work
The shepherds adore the Christ child, who lies in the manger. Mary sits next to the Child and holds a cloth. On the right in the background, the announcement to the shepherds by the angel. Joseph stands behind the ox and the donkey. On a pillar, a reference to the biblical text in Luke 2:16. Below the image, an explanation in Latin. This print is part of an album.
