Christmas Gifts: Dawn

Eric Gill

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white woodcut depicting a nativity scene. The scene is set within a barn with the roof sloping upwards in the background. Two figures, one on the left and one on the right, are present. The figure on the left sits on the ground with their back to the corner of the barn. The figure on the right lies down and holds a baby. A halo surrounds the heads of both figures. In the background on the left, a donkey's head sticks into the scene. The text at the bottom reads: PAX HOMINIBUS BONAE VOLUNTATIS. The image is bordered by two thin lines.
