La Nativité

Premiers graveurs, vers 1470/1475

This is a drawing of a biblical scene within a dilapidated stone structure. The scene features a central figure in flowing robes, a second figure with a lantern, a donkey, a sleeping baby, and an animal nearby. Above the arch are additional figures, possibly angels, depicted in the clouds with wings. The drawing is detailed with intricate line work and shading, giving depth to the architecture, clothing, and figures. A plant is growing between the stones in the foreground.
