The Annunciation

Two figures, Gabriel on the left and Mary on the right, stand within a shallow colonnaded space with pink-red walls and arches. Mary wears a blue mantle over a red gown and holds a book, while Gabriel extends a gesture toward her; a small vase of lilies sits on the floor in the foreground, and both have gold halos set against a gold ground. The work reflects the Italo-Byzantine, particularly Sienese, style with frontal, stylized figures, luminous colors, decorative drapery, and a gold-supported architectural setting.
