The Nativity

Allaert Claesz

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Nativity by Allaert Claesz: A black and white drawing of the nativity scene. A woman in a robe and head covering with a halo, kneels on the ground on the left side. The woman's head is angled down and looks toward her hands that are in front of her. There is a baby lying on a flat surface to the right. A man stands in the background on the left with his hands clasped. There are buildings with columns and archways extending into the background. There is a donkey's head on the right side. There are rays coming from a cloudy area at the top center.
