The Annunciation is a 1594 by Hendrik Goltzius, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows an angel and a woman in a quiet scene. The angel is telling the woman she will have a baby. This painting is part of a series of six prints called The Life of the Virgin. The artist tried different styles in each print, which is interesting. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist Hendrick Goltzius (Dutch, 1558–1617).
