The Virgin and the Angel Gabriel are painted in grisaille, shades of gray, to imitate the appearance of sculpture in paint. They originally adorned the exterior of an altarpiece when the wings were closed . When open, the altarpiece would have contained a central image flanked by the panels showing a family kneeling beneath their patron saints.
