This painting shows two robed figures holding small children, standing in front of a simple building. Above them, a bright light shines down, and angels float in the sky. Below, three men in fancy clothes stand near a horse, while a rooftop scene shows two figures playing music. The bright light and angels suggest this is a religious scene, likely about a holy birth. The figures look stiff, and the colors are flat with little shading. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
