This painting shows three figures in bright colors under a striped tent-like roof. The two standing people wear long robes—one red and green, the other mostly red—while the third figure lies wrapped in blue cloth in the center. A glowing star shines above them, and the background has simple shapes like a building and wavy lines that look like water or sky. The figures seem to be gathered around a small, swaddled child, with one person pointing toward it. The colors are bold and flat, with no shading to show depth. The edges of the painting have a decorative border in red and white. This style looks like it might use cross-hatching to create details.
