Archangel Gabriel with Angels
Flanders; 2nd third 15th c.

This exquisite wood-carving distinguished for its strong linearity and characteristic stylisation of the faces and the hair of Gabriel and the angles is considered to have been made under the influence of Rogier van der Weyden, one of the most important Flemish artists around the middle of the 15th c.
