The Adoration of the Shepherds is a 1650 oil by Francesco Maffei, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a scene with a woman kneeling on the left, wearing a blue dress over a pink robe. She's looking down at a baby lying in a basket. A man on the right is leaning forward, looking at the baby. In the background, there's a brown cow and a white column. The sky is blue with clouds. The woman and the man seem to be paying attention to the baby. The woman's hand is outstretched, and the man is leaning in. The cow is standing behind them, and the column is to the right. The painting is done in oil paint. The Ashmolean Museum has this painting.
