Describe three of the paintings that Marina sees and page numbers
Two paintings have already been described for your previous question.
In the section titled, The Tour, the tour guide leads the listener through a beautifully decorated room, drawing attention to a small painting of a beautiful young woman, part of a diptych (folding pair of paintings) from which the other half is missing. The remaining part portrays a Madonna, the missing part portrays the Angel Gabriel. "To us," the guide comments, "she appears to be lost in her own thoughts ... but actually she is listening to an unseen angel who is telling her that she will give birth to the son of God."
