In this third Annunciation to the Shepherds, the scenario is considerably calmer than in the two earlier versions. The angel occupies a much less prominent place. The standing shepherd raises his arms in terror and amazement, but makes no move to flee. The animals seem oblivious: the sheep sleep peacefully, the cows remain undisturbed.
