Painting of Mary at a lectern with an open book, facing a winged angel in red and gold robes, with cherubs and a dove in a cloud above.

De verkondiging aan Maria

Mary, draped in a blue mantle and pale gown, kneels before a wooden lectern with an open book, hands pressed to her chest. An angel with large wings and a red cloak kneels at right, gesturing toward her while a cluster of cherubs and a dove appear in a glowing cloud above. A red curtain frames the scene in this oil painting.

Español: La Anunciación a María

María, cubierta con un manto azul y un vestido pálido, se arrodilla ante un atril de madera con un libro abierto, con las manos juntas sobre el pecho. Un ángel alado con manto rojo se arrodilla a la derecha, señalándola, mientras querubines y una paloma aparecen en una nube luminosa arriba.
