The painting is a smaller version of a work which the artist made to hang over his own tomb in the church of Santo Domingo el Antiguo in Toledo. El Greco’s signature in Greek may be seen in the lower left corner.Extreme distortion of body characterizes the Adoration of the Shepherds like all the last paintings of El Greco.
