A fine etching by Giacomo Barri (1636-1690) after a work by Paolo Veronese (1528-1588). It depicts the adoration of the shepherds at the birth of Christ.

The etching was created in 1667 and this 19th-century version is most probably a restrike using the original plate.

Giacomo Barri was a leading Italian printmaker from the Baroque period. He hailed from Venice and is best known for his book, Viaggio pittoresco d'Italia, which provides descriptions of old master paintings across various Italian cities.

The etching is housed within a good later frame.
