A scene in a barn with Mary at the right presenting the Christ child to a pair of kneeling shepherds. The heavily swaddled child is surrounded by a glow which lights up the faces of the central group, Joseph to the left of Mary and two women who hold up an older child so that he can see the baby. More shepherds enter from the left, one carrying a lantern, and a boy with a dog kneels at the far left.
