The newborn Christ Child, encircled by an adoring group that includes his mother and father, shepherds, animals and angels, lies naked in a manger. Adoration scenes, many influenced by the visionary account of Saint Bridget of Sweden (ca. 1303 – 1373), were painted for the open market in Antwerp. This picture, unlike other extant examples associated with the Master of Frankfurt and his workshop, does not depict the scene under the night sky, a feature that reduces the dramatic effect of the scene. Yet other elements, like the streaming hair of several angels, lends the picture a feeling of flickering movement.
