Copy after the painting Adoration of the Magi by Taddeo Gaddi in Lower Church, San Francesco, Assisi is a 1874 watercolor by Edward Kaiser, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a baby being held by a woman. To the left, a few men lead animals—an ox and a donkey—while others stand in robes, some with halos. On the right, a man kneels in red robes, and a winged figure stands nearby. The background has a simple building with arches and a tower, set against a dark blue sky. The artist copied an older painting of this same scene, which was common in churches. The colors here are soft and the details are clear, even though it’s a watercolor. Look up Edward Kaiser to see more of his work.
