The Nativity

Black and white image of a nativity scene. The scene depicts a group of people gathered around a woman kneeling beside a box-like object on the floor. The woman wears a head covering and long dress. A man with a staff stands to her right. An older woman stands to her left, wearing a long dress and head covering. The scene takes place in a rustic stone building with a sloping roof that is missing some roof material. A staircase leads up to another area of the building on the left. In the background, three angels fly in the sky, and a star shines. The overall atmosphere appears serene and contemplative. The image is detailed with many lines and textures, suggesting it may be a print or engraving. The title of the work is "The Nativity" and it is by Albrecht Dürer.
