The Annunciation

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Annunciation by artist Fra Angelico. The image depicts a scene with two main figures. The figure on the left is an angel with fair skin and blonde hair, wearing a blue garment with gold embellishments under a yellow robe with gold embellishments and a halo. The angel is kneeling on the left side, holding a long blue scroll with gold writing. The angel faces right towards a woman with fair skin and red hair, wearing a blue robe with gold embellishments and a gold halo. The woman sits on the right side, looking down with her hands raised. A golden light with blue rings and a figure in a halo protrudes from the top left corner. The background shows a room with a brown pillar and archways, and decorative ceiling. The painting has a gold background and a gold frame with a black decorative border.
