About this subject

Monochrome reproduction of an Old Master painting of the Nativity: the Christ child lies in a wicker basket on a cloth while Mary kneels at right with hands clasped and Joseph kneels at left in prayer. Above the thatched stable roof a group of cherubs hovers, and a crucifix stands at the left against a dark archway.
