About this work

The painting shows a scene of the birth of the Virgin Mary. It's an old artwork from 1603. The artist put a lot of detail into the scene, like the people and the room, which makes it interesting to look at because it tells a story from a long time ago. You can look up the technique: engraving to learn more about how it was made.
