The Annunciation (L'Annonciation)

Carlos Schwabe

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two figures. The first figure, on the left, is in a kneeling position with hands extended forward, covered in a long, flowing garment that drapes from head to floor. The second figure, on the right, stands with a forward lean, creating an arch with large, outstretched wings sprouting from its back. This figure has short, sleek hair and defined facial features, gently gazing towards a lit chalice held in its hand, as it offers it to the kneeling figure. The background is plain.
