This is Van Eyck's depiction of one of the most famous biblical scenes: the moment at which the angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin that she will bear the son of God. Here Mary is dressed, as is typical, in virginal blue; the lilies before her are similarly a symbol of her purity. Visible also is a symbol of Mary's impregnation; the dove and the light of God (an allegory for Jesus) are seen heading towards Mary from the window.
