This drawing shows a bright scene with people and animals. At the center, a baby lies in a manger. Around it, a man and woman stand close. Above them, angels ride horses and play instruments. Sheep and cows fill the background. The colors are flat and bold—reds, blues, and golds stand out. The writing on the cross reads *"Iisus Hristos"* in old-style letters. This looks like a simple but clear way to tell a story about a birth. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build shadows with lines.
