← Nicola da Urbino

This is a painting of people and animals in a rich green landscape under a blue sky with one bright star. On the right, under an arch, there is a seated woman with an infant on her lap, one man standing behind her and another kneeling in front of her, a crown on the ground next to him. There are two more men with crowns standing near the kneeling man, both pointing towards the child. The left side shows more people standing and looking at the woman and child, with some mounted on horses. More people are walking down a tall hill on the left, coming towards us. The people are clothed in tunics and cloaks in bright shades of green, blue, and orange-yellow. Most of them have pale yellow skin, although one of the crowned men in front of the woman has brown skin.
