The Nativity by Girolamo dai Libri depicts a scene with a woman in a blue and orange robe with her hands clasped in prayer, and a man in a blue shirt and yellow robe sitting next to her. The woman wears a head covering and there is a baby on the ground beside her. A man is on horseback in the background, and there are two animals, one brown and one black, visible in a structure behind them. A peacock perches on the roof of the structure. There is a dog in the foreground. The background shows a body of water with a boat, trees, and a blue sky with clouds. A city and hills are also visible in the distance.
