This anonymous print from the 16th century, *Aanbidding door de koningen* (Adoration of the Magi), depicts the biblical story of the three wise men, or Magi, presenting gifts to the baby Jesus. The scene unfolds in a simple setting, with a ruined archway framing the central action. The detail of the scene highlights the figures of the Magi, presenting their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the infant Christ. This print would have been readily understood by a contemporary audience familiar with the biblical tale and would have been used for devotional purposes.
