Winter village scene with a crowd on a snowy street, a snow-covered shed at left, bare trees, and a brick tower under a grey sky.

The Adoration of the Magi

A snowy village street is crowded with figures in winter clothing, many walking, carrying bundles, or gathering near a snow-covered shed at left where people stand in its doorway. Bare trees, a timber house and a tall brick tower frame the scene under a grey sky, with a wooden walkway across the foreground.

Español: La adoración de los Reyes Magos en un pueblo nevado

Una calle de un pueblo cubierto de nieve está llena de personas con ropa de invierno, muchas caminando, cargando bultos o reunidas cerca de un cobertizo nevado a la izquierda, donde hay gente en la puerta. Árboles desnudos, una casa de madera y una alta torre de ladrillo enmarcan la escena bajo un cielo gris, con un camino de madera en primer plano.

Português: A adoração dos Reis Magos em uma aldeia nevada

Uma rua de aldeia coberta de neve está cheia de figuras com roupas de inverno, muitas caminhando, carregando trouxas ou reunidas perto de um galpão coberto de neve à esquerda, onde há pessoas na porta. Árvores sem folhas, uma casa de madeira e uma alta torre de tijolos emolduram a cena sob um céu cinzento, com uma passarela de madeira em primeiro plano.
