This etching by Francois de Poilly, titled "Christus in de kribbe met boven hem God de Vader en de Heilige Geest," depicts the Nativity scene with a strong focus on the divine aspect of Christ's birth. God the Father and the Holy Spirit, represented by a dove, are shown above the infant Jesus, radiating light and emphasizing the holy nature of the event. Poilly, a renowned French engraver, was active in the 17th century, and this artwork is a fine example of his detailed and expressive style. It is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
