Original – The scene is depicting the Annunciation, the white lilies, water flask are symbolizing the Virgin's purity, the dove above her head is the symbol of the Holy Spirit, while the iris is a symbol of suffering.
Reason
The painting has a featured article written on it. Good scan, painting by early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling. Virgin Mary in her bedchamber with a royally dressed Archangel Gabriel and his angels. (Wouldn't mind that frame cropped, though)
