The place of Jesus’s birth (folio 25 recto), from a Mirror of Holiness (Mir’at al-quds) of Father Jerome Xavier
A painting depicting a scene from the life of Jesus Christ. A woman in an orange robe with a blue shawl stands in an arched alcove, pointing up with her right hand. She has a halo around her head. Below her, a group of six men dressed in colorful robes are gathered around a camel and a yoked white ox. One man gestures towards the woman. The background shows grass, a fence, arched structures, a green statue on a pedestal, and a field with a white sheep under a blue sky with clouds. The painting has a gold frame.
