Leaf from a Book of Hours: Annunciation to the Shepherds (recto)
The image depicts a medieval-style illustration of a scene from the Bible. The scene shows three men in orange and blue clothing standing in a green field with two white sheep, one of which is lying down. Above them, an angel in orange and white is flying through a blue sky with clouds and stars. A rainbow-like object is behind the angel. The illustration is surrounded by a gold border with a blue and orange floral pattern on the left and right sides. A large blue, red, and gold initial is on the bottom left. A block of black, blue, and gold text in a foreign language is to the right of the initial. The background of the image is off-white and aged. There are additional blue, green, orange and purple floral patterns on the right and bottom.
