Detailed Description
A vertical oil painting depicts a group of figures in a rugged, mountainous landscape under a light blue sky. In the foreground, slightly right of center, a woman with a light brown head covering and a blue robe holds a baby wrapped in white cloth. To her right, a bearded man in a reddish-brown robe leans on a staff, his face partially obscured by shadow. Behind the woman, a small brown donkey stands. In front of the woman and donkey, an angel with large white wings and an orange-yellow robe kneels on the ground, looking towards the baby. To the far right, a large, dark brown rock formation rises, with some indistinct markings or text on its lower part. To the far left, a tall, dark tree trunk with sparse, dark green foliage stands. Further left and slightly behind, a small boat with a figure inside is visible on what appears to be a body of water. The midground features a vast expanse of rocky, grey-brown mountains and a calm body of water stretching towards the horizon. The background is a pale blue sky with soft white clouds, and two dark birds fly in the upper left portion of the sky.
