AnnunciationThis four-light window depicts the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary, a masterwork of mid-15th-century French stained glass and one of the earliest panels in the south ambulatory cycle at Bourges Cathedral. At the centre, the Archangel Gabriel, richly vested in a scarlet cope patterned with gold shells and miniature saintly figures, kneels before the Virgin Mary, who stands at the right holding a book of hours and clothed in green and white robes edged with gold

This window forms part of the Christological and donor cycle completed around 1467, stylistically linked to the Annunciation and Adoration of the Magi panels. The work is attributed to the Bourges Cathedral workshop, likely under Jean Lécuyer or André Robin, maîtres verriers active 1460–1475.
