From the museum record

Instead of a stable, the artist has interpreted the place of Jesus’s birth as an abandoned ruin. Mary is cleaning it with a peacock-feather whisk, while Joseph negotiates with a man dressed in full Mughal attire at the doorway. The camel is laden with belongings and an Indian-style bed.

Lupin’s visual index

A vibrant Mughal painting depicts the Virgin Mary presenting fruits to a group of travelers beneath an arched gateway.
