The painting shows the Magi visiting the baby Jesus. It's a small oil painting on a panel. The artist made it for private collectors in the Low Countries, which is an interesting fact because this was a new market at the time, and artists were starting to create work for individuals rather than just churches. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of the artist: Workshop of Cornelis Engebrechtsz.
