- Distinction: Part of the iconic "Children’s Nativity" series (launched in 1969), these figures are distinguished by their youthful, innocent aesthetic. Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthasar are depicted with the soft features and proportions of children. This "sweet" or "childlike" interpretation creates a cohesive and gentle portrayal of the scene into which Christ was born. This series depicts the Three Kings as children carrying contemporary "toys" as charming metaphors for their traditional biblical gifts.
