This 17th-century anonymous triptych, titled “Adoration of the Magi,” depicts the biblical story of the three wise men visiting the infant Jesus. The painting is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY. The three kings, adorned in rich robes and crowns, kneel before the Virgin Mary and the Christ child, offering gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The scene is set in an arched frame, reminiscent of a medieval altarpiece. The panel's small dimensions suggest it was likely intended for private devotion rather than public display.
