About this work

This painting shows a bright scene with three kings in red robes and gold crowns kneeling beside a woman in a red headscarf. They’re gathered around a low basket holding a baby, with two animals nearby. The sky glows orange with a starburst, and a small church stands in the background. Flat colors and bold outlines make the figures stand out. The text at the top reads *Nașterea lui Iisus* (Birth of Jesus), which matches the religious story shown. The style is simple and symbolic, with no deep shadows or realistic details. Look up composition to see how artists arrange figures and objects to tell a story.
