The Annunciation

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two figures. One figure is seated next to a table with an open book, leaning forward and gazing at the other figure who is kneeling on a cloud. The kneeling figure has angelic wings and holds a long rod. The background includes architectural elements like a column and heavy drapery, with rays of light emanating from the kneeling figure.
