This painting shows a night scene with a group of people gathered around a woman holding a baby. Some men are kneeling or standing, while others look on. A donkey and a cow are nearby, and the background is dark with a few stars visible. The woman and baby are the focal point, with the others paying close attention. The lighting is dramatic, with shadows creating depth and contrast. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting style works.
