Detailed Description
A rectangular image shows a group of figures and animals within a stable setting. In the center, a woman, wearing a blue robe and a golden crown, sits on a low bench, holding a nude child on her lap. Both the woman and the child have golden halos. To the left, an elderly man with a long white beard, wearing elaborate attire, kneels, leaning forward towards the child's foot. He wears a dark red robe with gold trim and a dark cap. Behind him, a man in a red and white cloak stands, looking towards the central figures. Further back, a donkey and an ox are partially visible in a dark recess. To the right, a man in a blue and gold patterned robe kneels, holding a golden box towards the child. Behind him, a standing man with dark skin and a white turban holds a tall golden vessel. Another figure in a red hat and blue tunic stands behind the last man, holding a sword. The stable features stone arches and crumbling walls, with a dark blue sky above where a large golden star shines. Distant green landscapes and faint buildings are visible through the arches.
