This painting shows a group of shepherds gathered around a baby. The shepherds are looking at the baby with gentle faces. Carlo Dolci painted this scene in a simple style, without dramatic shadows or bright colors, which was different from many other artists of his time. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
