This is a print of a scene beneath a canopy of trees. In the center, a child sits on the lap of a woman reclining under a tree. Both of them have halos of light around their heads. A third person with a halo is standing on the left, and he approaches the woman and child with his arm outstretched. This central group of people is surrounded by winged angels on either side of the tree. A donkey sits below the tree in the bottom right corner of the print. Rays of light shine down on the scene from the top-left corner.
