In this Adoration of the Child, the donors are represented realistically, on the scale of the holy figures. This form of integration into the scene is testimony to a widespread figurative practice from the fifteenth century onwards, which reflects the penetration of humanist values into art. The Christ Child, stripped of divine attributes, takes on an earthly dimension in the centre of the composition.

The painter depicts the episode by overlaying autonomous narrative planes, which develop the space in depth. Perspective is suggested by the change in scale of the figures, the middle ground consisting in the Wise Men proceeding in file on horseback.

A progressive chromatic blurring leads the observer's gaze to the faint differentiation that marks the boundary between heaven and earth. The complexity of the composition, where harmoniously positioned verticals and diagonals are combined with meticulously crafted decorative groupings, harks back to a fundamental aspiration of the period: the search for balance.
