Shepherds: Annuciation -- Angel, holding scroll inscribed GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO, based on Luke 2:14, flying above one of three shepherds standing, leaning on pedum, and looking up, beside dog at feet; another is seated beside pedum on ground, raising right arm to shield eyes; the third, wearing hood, raises both hands; all before flock of sheep in hilly landscape.
