Icon depicting the Annunciation of the Angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary

The Virgin sits under a baldachin adorned with bright red drapery. Blue columns frame the canopy. Mary holds a red skein of yarn in her hand: the Archangel Gabriel came upon her while she was spinning wool. The Virgin's figure is regal and majestic, her slippers a color reserved for Byzantine royalty. The archangel is dressed in shades of gray and holds a golden staff; he has brown and blue wings. He reaches out with strength and courage toward Mary.
The artwork is placed on a wooden pedestal.
