A vertically oriented print in black-inked fine lines depicts people with light skin tones gathering in architectural ruins. In the foreground, a man reclines before the Virgin Mary, who kneels beside the nude baby Christ. Shepherds and animals cluster around them. Above, a radiant sun shines over a stone archway inscribed with "HE," through which a distant city is visible. Large classical columns frame the left of the crumbling stone structure.
