This 18th-century enamel plaque by French artist Jean-Baptiste Nouailher depicts the Nativity of Christ, a cornerstone of Christian tradition. Crafted from copper and enamel, the scene features a detailed representation of the birth of Jesus, with Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds gathered around the manger. The intricate use of color and the luminous gold accents within the frame contribute to the piece's devotional quality.
