The Nativity is in a mountainous scene, in a cave. The Virgin is sitting up, facing frontally, her head turned to the right at the masonry crib beside her, in which the Christ-child lies. The heads of an ox and ass lean over the crib. From an arc in heaven, top center, rays of light descend upon the child. Upper left shows two angels on one side of the mountain.
Upper right has the annunciation to a shepherd.
Joseph is in the accustomed position, nimbed, in the lower left. To his right, is the bathing of the infant.
