The Annunciation (folio 15 recto), from a Mirror of Holiness (Mir’at al-quds) of Father Jerome Xavier
The painting depicts a scene with a woman sitting on a platform, surrounded by several people. The woman wears a pink dress and a teal headscarf and has a halo around her head. A man with wings and a yellow outfit kneels to her left, facing her. He wears a gold crown-like object on his head. To her right, two people stand. One wears a red and teal outfit and points to a piece of paper. The other wears a green dress. A white dog lies on the ground to their left. In the background, there are buildings, including one with a dome, and a man in a red and white outfit stands on a staircase. Another man in a purple outfit holds a crown-like object. The sky is blue with birds. The image has a gold border.
