Adoration of the Magi

Giovanni David, after Battista Dossi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of people. A seated woman is holding a child in her arms. In front of her, an elderly man is kneeling and presenting a round object. Other individuals surround them, with one man gesturing to the right. In the background, there are hills, bare trees, and roman-like architectural elements. The text "Et procidentes adoraverunt eum" is inscribed at the bottom.
