This painting shows an angel and a woman in a room with a checkerboard floor. The angel is on the left, wearing a white robe and black skirt, with large wings and a halo. He's holding a lily and looking down at the woman. She's on the right, wearing a blue robe and orange dress, with a halo and her hands together in prayer. The room has a high ceiling with a chandelier, and there's a large arched window in the background with a view of a building and sky. The colors are muted, with lots of browns and golds.
