This painting shows a woman and a man on a donkey, with a baby in the woman's arms. The woman wears a white head covering and a blue dress, while the man wears a yellow hat and a red cloak. They are in a forest with trees and rocks. The woman looks down at the baby, and the man looks to the right. The baby is wrapped in cloth and has a halo around its head. The donkey is brown and has a bridle on its head. The painting is rich in detail and color, with a sense of movement and energy. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, look up Albrecht Dürer.
