The Annunciation by Albrecht Altdorfer: A black-and-white drawing of a scene depicting the Christian story of the Annunciation. The scene shows an angel on the right, with wings spread behind, dressed in long robes, kneeling on one knee beside a table. The angel's head is bowed to the woman on the left. The woman sits on a chair at a table with her hands resting on an open book. She wears a long robe and a head covering. The background includes a rounded archway made of brick and stone, with a brick wall on the right. The room appears dimly lit. The drawing has detailed lines and shading, and appears to be on textured paper.
