The Magi Journeying

Three riders in yellow cloaks and white headdresses lead a caravan across a rocky, sunlit desert valley under pale, sloping hills. Behind them, camels, figures on foot and laden animals wind along a stony path toward the distance. The painting uses loose watercolor washes over fine pencil lines, giving the scene a warm, dusty light.
