Painting of a winged angel in red and gold gesturing toward a woman in blue, with a green serpent coiled around a tree in a garden.

The Annunciation

A winged angel in a red mantle and gold skirt stands at right, gesturing toward a woman in a deep blue gown who bows her head at left. Behind them, a green serpent coils around a fruit-laden tree against a leafy garden wall, and rich saturated colors give the painting a flat, decorative composition.

Español: La Anunciación

Un ángel alado con manto rojo y falda dorada está de pie a la derecha, haciendo un gesto hacia una mujer con un vestido azul profundo que inclina la cabeza a la izquierda. Detrás de ellos, una serpiente verde se enrosca en un árbol cargado de frutos contra un muro de jardín con follaje, y los colores intensos dan a la pintura una composición plana y decorativa.
