The scene, with the fine gold workmanship and the accentuation of the linear values of the design and the elegant outline, shows the precise moment in which the Virgin meets the Angel Gabriel. The Angel has a hand on his chest as a sign of greeting, while in the sky you can see the hands of God that bring down the dove, symbol of the Holy Spirit. The panel, in excellent conservation conditions, is certainly an autograph of the Florentine master made between 1445 and 1450.
