It shows the Virgin Mary receiving the Annunciation with her arms crossed and reading reads from a book, presumably the Torah or Bible. She is framed within her panel and her body and head are turned toward the viewer's left. This is a basic record created to enable public access to scanned images. Full research on this image is pending.
