The Adoration of the Magi is a 17th-century engraving that depicts the biblical story of the Three Wise Men visiting the infant Jesus. The anonymous artist skillfully captures the scene's solemnity and wonder, showcasing the Magi's reverence and awe as they offer gifts to the newborn king. The detailed rendering of the figures' clothing and the dramatic use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism.
