The depiction of Gabriel, dressed in flowing robes and holding a lantern and a branch of olive, emphasizes his divine nature and role as a messenger. The work, likely created in the late 18th or early 19th century, exemplifies the artistic style of Russian neoclassicism, characterized by its emphasis on classical subjects and an idealized aesthetic.
