Figure descriptions
Two children stand side by side with their arms outstretched and palms facing up.
The child on the left looks straight ahead
toward the viewer, and the child on the right looks sideways toward the other child.
They both wear robes and no shoes. Both
children have haloes of light around their heads. They are also encircled by a ring
of light. 1/32 page.
A crowned woman with a hooded cape kneels down and looks over two children. She places
her hand on the children’s backs. The
children wear robes and no shoes. The child on the left appears to either kiss the
other child’s cheek or whisper in their ear. The
woman and the children all have haloes of light around their heads. They stand in
front of a brick house. Multiple cherubs look down
upon the figures from under the eaves-troughs. An old man stands at the right of the
illustration. He turns his back on the central
figures and looks at them from over his shoulder. The man holds a large bundle of
sticks. There is a settlement in the distance. It
is winter; snow covers the ground and roofs. Stars shine in the sky. Full-page illustration
contained within a single-ruled
border.
