About this work
The angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will become pregnant. Mary sits at a table with an open book. To the left a bed. The Holy Spirit descends as a dove. Above it the tetragram as a symbol of God the Father, surrounded by cherubim. Below the depiction a reference in Latin to the biblical text in Luke 1:26.
