An angel with a crown of flowers on her head holds two sleeping babies in her arms as she flies to the left. The sky is drawn with a crescent moon, clouds, stars, two bats, and an owl. Below her, a rural scene with cows sleeping to right and a boy (a shepherd?) to the left, who also sleeps, his arms resting against a rock out-cropping. In the background, a man and woman walk toward a cottage, the man holding a torch to light the way. In the distance on a hill is a walled city, with smoke pouring from the building on the right
