The Adoration of the Kings
Oil on canvas, BH #375
58.25 x 88.25 inches

This beautiful work draws the viewer's eye to two scenes of action. The primary scene is the Madonna and Christ Child with Joseph adoring the child from behind and two of the three Kings bowing before the Child. The secondary scene is the dramatic rider on the bold white horse pointing down and drawing the attention of the third King.
