A painting of a busy outdoor scene with people, horses and soldiers. In the lower left corner sits the Virgin Mary, holding up the Baby Jesus who stands on her lap, holding out his left hand in blessing. At their feet kneels a white-haired and -bearded king in a gold cloak, cupping Jesus' right foot in his right hand. Just behind the king, someone holding a gold crown in their left hand, gives a gold horn (containing a gift?) to a haloed Joseph, who stands behind Mary holding a small chest in both upraised hands.

An oil painting depicting the Adoration of the Magi scene. At left is Mary seated and holding the baby out in front of her. A bearded man wearing elegant clothing kneels on the ground with his right hand lifted to cup the baby's right foot. Behind him stands another richly dressed man wearing a gold crown, with his right hand at his chest, leaning or bowing toward the baby. Behind the standing king is at least one other (far less distinctly depicted) human figure, perhaps an attendant. Behind Mary is a man, perhaps the third king, with his left arm resting on a ledge, also gazing down at the baby.

An artwork depicting three women, in full length profile facing the right edge of the work, against a black background under a crescent moon and some stars. The first is Black, and she holds in her outstreched hands what appears to be fire; she wears a white robe and headdress with colorful trim. The second woman wears a red robe and a red headband; she has long dark hair and a brown face, and she brings the gift of a blanket with a Navajo design as her gift. The third woman wears a green kimono and wears her dark hair up on her head; she bears a largish bowl, presumably containing food.
