Description
A newborn lies in a straw-filled basket, reaching up towards the sky, where a group of cherubs floats on a cloud. Kneeling at the left of the infant, an elderly man in a red and orange robe clasps his hands in prayer, while a woman in a blue and red cloak kneels at the right, gazing down with an expression of adoration. In the background, a wooden cross stands atop a hill under a soft sky, suggesting a symbolic connection between the birth of the child and the crucifixion.
