A color illustration of the Nativity: a group of shepherds, one in a blue-green robe, kneel and stand at the left with sheep and dogs, while Mary and Joseph sit with the infant Jesus at the right inside a rustic stable. A donkey stands beside a wooden tub at the far right, and light streams in from the open end of the shelter.
