Baby Jesus Soothed with Bagpipes

This painting, The Adoration of the Shepherds, is (of course) owned by the National Galleries of Scotland. It shows one shepherd worshipping the newborn Jesus with his bagpipes. The Seventeenth Century Italian painter Domenichino understood that nothing settles a baby like gentle tones from the old pipes.
