The painting depicts the moment when shepherds, guided by the star of Bethlehem, arrive at the humble stable where Jesus has been born.

The shepherds, awestruck by the divine presence, offer their humble gifts and worship the Christ child.

Beyond its biblical narrative, "Adoration of the Shepherds" carries profound symbolic meanings.
