At the center, the Infant Jesus lies in a rustic crib, surrounded by the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, and shepherds, all depicted with delicate facial features and mother-of-pearl embellishments. The composition contrasts the serene Biblical scene with the radiant, otherworldly quality of the inlay work. The frame, inspired by Japanese namban lacquer, highlights the integration of Asian techniques into New Spanish art.

This painting is a product of artistic experimentation and cultural exchange, showcasing how New Spanish artists merged European traditions with local and oriental influences to create a distinctive style.
