The vision of Saint Anne, an allegory of the Immaculate Conception. The kneeling Anna sees Mary carried by angels on a cloud toward heaven, where Christ awaits her with outstretched arms. Behind Anna kneels her husband Joachim with folded hands. The work is a preliminary study for the altarpiece dated 1759 made for the convent of Santa Chiara in Cividale, now in the museum in Dresden.
