The Adoration of the Magi

Master E.S.

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a religious scene featuring figures in a nativity setting. The image is intricately detailed, focusing on a group of individuals gathered around a central figure holding an infant. The composition is framed by an architectural structure resembling a stable, complete with a wooden roof and open façade, revealing various animals. The background landscape presents hills and a distant view of a castle-like structure. An angelic figure hovers in the upper right corner, guiding a star. The figures wear historical garments, and the line work enhances the texture and depth of the scene.
