Annunciation of Mary, set in a garden typical of an elegant Renaissance palazzo. The angel's shadow appears on the lawn. Leonardo's study of birds is reflected in realism of the angel's wings. Mary's right arm seems excessively long, but the painting was intended to be viewed from below and from the right; the painting probably hung in a side altar in the original location at St. Bartolomeo a Monteoliveto in Florence.
