A horizontally oriented print in delicate lines and dark hatching depicts three figures with light skin tones outdoors. Mary, centered in a dark headscarf, gazes down at the infant Christ held in her lap. To her left, Joseph sits with his back turned, draped in a heavy cloak. On the right, a woven basket, pillows, and a wide-brimmed hat rest on the ground. Sketchy lines define the group against a sparsely detailed background.
