This is how it could look
Classic, beautifully detailed nativity scene in the traditional German-Alpine style. Stable of Bethlehem: rough-hewn wood, open front, hay floor. Central figures: Mary (kneeling, gentle, blue robe), Joseph (standing, protective, staff), infant Jesus in manger (simple wooden trough with hay). Animals: ox on left, donkey on right, both leaning toward the manger gently. Shepherds: three approaching from the left, one with a lamb over his shoulders, one kneeling. Three Wise Men: from the right in magnificent robes (one African, one Asian, one European in appearance). Star of Bethlehem: eight-pointed, blazing above as main light source. Two small angels above. Classic triangular composition.
