Purchased by Wilmarth Sheldon Lewis in Lima, Peru in 1943. Price $50 had been in there. Summary: A scene recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. An angel appears in a dream to Saint Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary to announce the conception of Christ through the Holy Ghost. The angel gestures with one finger both to heaven and the Virgin Mary as she approaches the sleeping Saint Joseph whose head is rests in slumber on his hand and elbow as he leans at his writing desk. He is dressed in blue and red ornamented with gold flowers. His other hand holds a flower. Above joseph is an image of the Virgin Mary who kneels in prayer before an open Bible. The cloud before here represents the Holy Ghost. In the foreground are two courting peacocks, the male with his tail fully fanned. In the distance a shepherd watches his flock in a meadow. In the distance a city, presumably Nazareth, is nestled in the hills
