About this work

This drawing shows a crowded scene with people dressed in old-fashioned clothes, some wearing hats and bright red robes. At the center, a woman in white kneels beside a donkey, holding a baby wrapped in cloth. Above them, angels float with halos, holding glowing objects. A town with red-roofed buildings and towers fills the background. The people’s faces look simple and flat, with bold outlines. The colors are bright but faded, like old fabric. The angels’ wings and the baby’s glow stand out against the busy crowd. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
