About this work

Mary in a kneeling posture in a room. She prays the Magnificat. Above her head the tetragram in a radiant cloud. Around her four music-making angels who (from left to right) play the viola da gamba, crumhorn, transverse flute and viola da gamba. The musical notation of the piece being played is visible on two tablets, held up by two standing angels. Below the scene a Dutch text from Luke 1. The print is part of an album.
