In this nativity scene the shepherds worship and give their offerings to the Child. The Virgin shows the Child who is resting on sheets. He extends His hand toward His Mother. Behind the Virgin a shepherd is looking Him and St. Joseph, raising his hands in adoration. At Jesus’ feet and in the foreground, a kneeling shepherd and a woman also worship the newborn. Along the landscape in the background a flock of sheep, hills and a flushed sky.
