A vertically oriented printed folio on parchment depicts the Annunciation within a golden frame. To our left, the Virgin Mary, wearing a blue cloak, sits at a desk. To our right, the Archangel Gabriel kneels with green wings. Both have light skin tones. Above, a white dove descends amidst golden rays toward a scroll reading "ave gratia plena". Below, a floral motif sits beside Latin text beginning with "Obsecro te domina sancta maria mater dei."
