Painting of the Annunciation: a winged angel in red at left faces a kneeling Mary in green with a golden halo, in a tiled room.

The Annunciation to Mary

An angel in a red cape and white robe kneels at left, holding a lily-topped scepter and gesturing toward the Virgin, who kneels at right in a green mantle with hands crossed over her chest beneath a golden halo. Between them stand a glass, a plate of fruit and an open book, set in a tiled interior with a gilded background.
