A vertically oriented oval etching in fine black lines depicts the Adoration of the Shepherds. In the center, baby Christ with light skin tone lies in a straw manger. To our left, Mary and Joseph with light skin tones kneel outside a ruined building. To our right, shepherds with light skin tones gather. A winged figure flies above within rays of light. In the foreground on our right, a dog stands on the dusty ground.
