Beeldbeschrijving
The artwork depicts the Archangel Gabriel in a full-length profile view, facing left. Gabriel stands upright, holding a long stem with a white flower in his right hand, while his left hand is raised with fingers extended. He has curly, golden hair and a halo above his head. Gabriel is dressed in a flowing pink robe over a black garment, with the fabric draped around him. His wings, partially visible, are dark and textured. The background is a deep blue with hints of a landscape featuring rolling hills or rock formations at the bottom.
