The Annunciation Maria from an Annunciation group, Maria kneels on a floor to the left and slightly to the viewer, in front of a lectern, on which lies a book, she stares ahead. She rests the left hand on the closed book, while with the right she has put her mantle around the desk and partly over the book, from where he hangs in folds. The desk has front and side window-shaped openings and above it an equally open door, whose lock, pull ring and hinges are visible. Maria's hair falls over wavy backs and shoulders. She wears a dress with sleeves and an angular neckline, above which a second dress appears. The cloak hangs from her right shoulder in a wide arch over the back and is held up with the left forearm. The mantle hem shows the same painted three-pass motif as that of the angel, the Annunciation: Mary kneeling, Tilman Riemenschneider, Würzburg, c. 1485 - c. 1487, alabaster (mineral), gilding, h 39.5 cm × w 40.5 cm
