The Nativity; The Adoration of the Magi, by John Hardman & Co., installed in 1876 in Sir George Gilbert Scott's St Matthias Church, Richmond. This is the third window in the north aisle, one of a series in a similar palette and style depicting the early life of Jesus. They are familiar scenes but still poignant. Even the animals here seem touched by the importance of the event, and the king who is making his offering has cast his crown down on the ground in front of him.
