The image depicts a classic nativity scene illustrated in an ornate and detailed style. At the center of the scene, an infant lies in a manger while surrounded by a figure traditionally interpreted as the mother, who is seated beside the manger with a glowing halo above her head. Next to them is a male figure, usually seen in depictions of the nativity, kneeling in worship.

To the side of the main figures, there are farm animals, including a cow and a donkey, observing the scene. Above, cherubs or angels float among the clouds holding a banner that reads “GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO,” adding a heavenly dimension to the composition. At the bottom of the image is the Latin inscription "DE VIRGINE NASCI DIGNATUS EST," which translates to "He was deemed worthy to be born of a virgin."

The surrounding environment appears rustic, with wooden beams and a simple barn structure visible. Additional figures, likely shepherds, are present reverently watching the infant. The overall atmosphere is one of divine sanctity and reverence consistent with the birth of Christ in traditional Christian iconography.
