About this work

Mary and Joseph, seated in/among ruins, show their newborn child to the three kings or wise men from the East and their retinue. Below the image four Latin verses. This print is part of a series of six prints with scenes from the early life of Mary. They are called the 'Masterpieces' because Goltzius imitated the work of various illustrious predecessors in them.
