The painting depicts the angel Gabriel and the Madonna, the subject of the annunciation taken from the fourteenth-century fresco of the SS Annunziata in Florence.
This subject was taken up by many Florentine artists of the time, commissioned by the grand ducal family and the noble Florentine families as an object of private devotion or as a gift to be sent to eminent personalities.
The work in question is enclosed in an 18th century gilded frame.
The painting has some previous restorations but is in excellent condition. Halos with gold background -
