The Annunciation

Cornelis Cort after Titian

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of heavenly figures and clouds. The composition features winged figures among billowing clouds in a celestial setting. Below these figures, more angelic figures with large wings engage in gestures of communication near a classical architectural structure. A potted plant with flowers is present on the left side. The artwork uses intricate lines and shading to create texture and depth.
