This engraving titled "Aanbidding door de koningen" (Adoration of the Magi) was created by Frans Floris I, a Flemish artist, between 1570 and 1596. Floris, known for his Mannerist style, depicts the biblical event of the three wise men bringing gifts to the newborn Jesus. The composition features detailed figures and intricate architecture, showcasing Floris' mastery of printmaking. The engraving is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, a prominent Dutch art museum.
