Adoration of the Magi, In this image we see the Virgin and Child surrounded by Joseph and the three Magi while several other followers stand in the background. The scene is set in a Romanesque ruin converted into a stable. In the foreground, one king leans to kiss Christ's hand, while the others stand holding their gifts. Joseph stands to the left of Mary and Christ. The patron of the painting is depicted behind him kneeling behind a stone wall. A crucifix hangs above Mary's head on the stable, which houses a donkey and a cow. In the bottom right corner sits a greyhound.
