The image depicts a diptych with two paintings. The left panel shows an angel with orange and blond hair wearing white clothes and a red cloak with gold trim standing on the left. The angel has his right hand raised and holds a white scroll with black text in his left hand. The angel faces a woman with red hair wearing a black dress with gold crowns and a gold-trimmed pink underskirt. The woman sits on a pink and brown patterned floor and holds a book. Behind the woman is a small building with a red roof and a group of three angels. The right panel shows a woman in a gold robe and a headscarf with a gold halo and a man in a brown robe with a red underskirt. The man and woman stand on stone steps. The woman looks down at a baby lying in a manger. The baby has a gold halo. Three men stand around the manger. One man wears a white robe with a red underskirt and holds a shepherd's staff. The man on the right has red hair and a green underskirt. The third man has black hair and a green underskirt. Behind the people are a donkey and a cow. The background of the left panel is a room with a brown and pink floor. The background of the right panel is a stone building with a thatched roof and gold leaf at the top.
