Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession # 36.39.1.2
The Magi are portrayed as kings representing the three ages of Man. The middle-aged king points to the star in the other window. Unusually, Mary and the baby are on a mattress-like object rather than a chair. Behind the empty manger is one of the shepherds.
