Die Geburt Christi

Deutsche Grafik um 1480, um 1480

This is a drawing of a nativity scene. The image depicts a traditional biblical nativity scene with a baby lying in a manger surrounded by a humble wooden structure resembling a stable. There is a figure kneeling beside the baby and another figure standing behind. Above the stable, two small animals are peering through an opening. A star shines in the sky, and there is an angel with green and red wings present. The use of red, green, and earthy tones, along with linear patterns, creates a quaint and sacred atmosphere.
