The Mother of God is shown with angels in front of a rocky landscape and
architectural background. The hills and rocks act as natural divisions between the

upper corner an angel warns the three kings that they shouldn’t return to Herod
because of his intentions to kill the Jesus, whom he sees as a rival. At the right
Joseph who is seated in thought; the old man before him is sometimes interpreted as
a devil disguised as a shepherd, trying to arouse doubt to Joseph if he is the true
father.
On the left the Holy Family's Flight to Egypt, the Mother of God seated on a horse
with Christ child on her lap; Joseph points the way. Below Elisabeth flees in the
mountains with her son (Saint John). Below women mourn due to the killed children.
