The Virgin of the Annunciation

Probably French 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a figure of a man in elaborate robes. The figure has a relaxed and contemplative posture, with one arm raised and bent at the elbow holding the garment. The sculpture is crafted from a dark material, possibly metal or stone, with a rich hue. It is placed on a solid plinth, slightly elevated. The facial expression is serene, with calm features and eyes gently downcast. The drapery is intricately carved with defined folds.
