композиция:
The artist adheres to the canon according to which the Archangel Gabriel is represented blessing Maria with a staff. The Virgin is not sitting but standing, a spindle in Her hand.
The inclination of Her head and the attitude of Her hands testify to the fact that She is engaged in conversation with the heavenly messenger.
The central upper part of the icon shows a segment of the sky lit by a ray of light, that divine grace which infuses Maria and results in the immaculate conception.
