The Annunciation (Matins, Office of the Virgin): Leaf from a Book of Hours (1 of 3 Excised Leaves)

Noël Bellemare

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a painting of a scene with two figures. The figure on the left is a man with red hair wearing a white robe and a red sash around his waist. He has wings, which are pink, green, and gold. His right arm is raised above his head, and he holds a staff in his left hand. The figure on the right is a woman with red hair wearing a blue dress with a red undershirt. She sits on a bench and holds her hands up in front of her. An open book rests on a green cloth on a small wooden table in front of her. The scene takes place in a room with stone columns and arches. A red curtain hangs from a canopy to the right. The room has a stone floor and a railing. A gold frame surrounds the painting, with ornate carvings on the corners and sides. Rays of light extend from the top center of the painting.
