The Fall and Redemption of Man: The Annunciation

Albrecht Altdorfer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of the annunciation. The scene depicts a kneeling man on the right and a woman sitting on the left. The woman sits in a simple wooden chair with a halo over her head. The man, with wings and a halo, points a long staff towards the woman. The man wears loose clothing and a hat. The woman holds a book on her lap and looks up at the man. The background shows an interior with a slanted roof and a large vessel on a shelf. The image is framed by a border with a light gray background around it. The style of drawing uses dense cross-hatching and lines for shading and detail.
