This painting shows four figures inside a simple blue building with a red-tiled roof. The person on the left sits on a low bench, gesturing with one hand. Two others stand near a small bed, holding a baby. The figures wear gold robes and halos, and the background has three small windows. The edges of the painting are decorated with green vines and flowers. The text at the top reads in a foreign script, and the whole scene looks like it was drawn with careful lines and flat colors. The baby is the focus, held by one of the standing figures. Next, look up composition to see how artists arrange figures and objects in a scene.
