The Annunciation

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures interacting. On the left, a person is sitting on a chair, facing slightly right. The person has delicate facial features, curly hair, and is wearing long robes. A table with a lace cloth and an open book is next to them. On the right, an angelic figure is kneeling on a cloud, with curly hair, holding a staff, and visible wings. The background features an archway, rays emanating from a point, swirling clouds, and heavy curtains to the left.
