The graceful Archangel Gabriel, the angel who announces the Annunciation as God's messenger, has long silver hair flowing like a veil of light, wears a pure white robe and a blue mantle, holds a white lily in her hand, has a gentle and compassionate expression like that of the Virgin Mary, and is in an elegant pose kneeling on one knee to offer the flower. The pure color scheme of white, blue, and gold, and a sacred angle from above, with a garden bathed in morning light and falling petals in the background, a soft and delicate style reminiscent of the early Renaissance, and a warm halo of light that expresses hope and compassion.
