National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an angel visiting a figure indoors. The angel, with wings and robes, reaches out towards a haloed figure. The room contains a table with books and a candlestick, along with a large book on the ground. Through a window, an outdoor scene is visible showing a road with a chariot, a castle, and a tree. The drawing is detailed and resembles engravings from the Renaissance period.
