Alessandra Cimatoribus.
An old ox graciously invites lost sheep, goats, birds, etc., into his stable to seek shelter. The stable is brimming when "a tired and heavily burdened donkey" brings an unnamed couple into the fold for a miraculous event. Stylized, earthy art concentrates on the generosity and warmth of the stable animals in this Nativity story.
