About the work

In the museum's own words — in Romanian

Într-un interior cu deschidere spre un peisaj exterior, Maria stă îngenuncheată, în reculegere, după ce a primit vestea nașterii Fiului. Arhanghelul Gabriel, cu un crin în mână, părăsește scena, pe nori, privind peste umăr. Deasupra capului Mariei se revarsă lumina trimisă de porumbelul Duhului Sfânt. Dumnezeu Tatăl este reprezentat în atitudine orantă, în nori, înconjurat de grupuri de heruvimi. În dreapta jos, pe un piedestal văzut în perspectivă este reprezentat blazonul ducelui d’Albret, Emmanuel-Théodose de La Tour d'Auvergne (1643–1715), canonic și decan al catedralei din Liège, ulterior cardinal de Bouillon, căruia i-a fost dedicată stampa. Compoziția se bazează pe textul citat în latină: „Iată, fecioara va rămâne însărcinată, va naște un fiu, iar numele său va fi Emanuel” (Isaia. 7).
