The Annunciation

Paolo Veronese

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene with two main figures. The angel on the left has curly hair and wears a white short-sleeved shirt, a gray skirt with gold trim, and large feathered wings. He stands on a cloud and points towards a white dove with outstretched wings surrounded by a pink glow in the sky. The woman on the right sits in a chair, wearing a pink long-sleeved shirt, a green skirt, and a blue shawl over her shoulders. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a book in one hand and touches her chest with the other. The room features a bed with a green curtain, a small table, and a window with a view of trees and a blue sky. The painting is framed in gold.
