The painting depicts a scene with a woman in a white shirt and blue cloak sitting on the left side, looking up, with a baby lying on a straw-filled manger in front of her. The woman is surrounded by five men, some of whom appear to be kneeling or bending forward. A man on the far left wears a dark-colored shirt and brown pants, with a jug or vase in his hands. A man to the right of the woman wears an orange and green outfit with fur trim on his shoulders and sleeves. The background shows a dark-colored wall or object behind the woman and a slanted roof above the group. A cherub or angel is painted on the ceiling, partially nude, holding ribbons. The color palette is predominantly dark and muted, with shades of brown, orange, and blue.
