This stained glass window shows a scene from the Annunciation.
The stained-glass window is semicircular, and the borders are decorated with red, green, and gold foliage. In the frame of scrolls, acanthus leaves, and interwoven motifs typical of the Neo-Gothic style, the Annunciation unfolds, the meeting between the angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary. To the right, the archangel Gabriel appears on a cloud. He extends his right hand in a gesture of announcing and holds a white lily in the other. To the left, the Virgin Mary, kneeling in prayer, bows slightly, her hands crossed on her chest. She is haloed, dressed in blue and white. Above her, the dove of the Holy Spirit descends. The arches, the floor tiles, and the drapery evoke a place somewhere between the private and sacred spheres.The stained-glass window is semicircular, and the borders are decorated with red, green, and gold foliage.
