A horizontally oriented tempera manuscript leaf depicts the Annunciation within a floral border. On our left, the winged Gabriel has light skin and red and blue robes, kneeling and pointing toward the Virgin Mary. On our right, Mary has light skin and a golden halo, wearing a blue robe while kneeling at a desk with raised hands. Two columns of Latin text appear below the scene, which features a gold-patterned background and red curtain.
