About the piece
Painted in 1633 by Pieter de Grebber, this oil on panel depicts the Adoration of the Shepherds. The composition centers on the glowing figure of the Christ child, casting a warm light onto the gathered figures and highlighting the delicate features of the Virgin Mary while angels watch from the clouds above.
