About this work

In the stable at Bethlehem, Mary, together with two angels, kneels in adoration before the sleeping Christ Child. Joseph watches, holding wood he has just gathered. Above the stable, the Holy Spirit as a dove, surrounded by angels holding flowers in their hands. In the margin, a six-line caption in two columns in Latin. The print is part of an album.
