The Annunciation

About this work

This engraving shows two figures in a room with arched doorways and a tiled floor. On the left, a winged figure holds a staff with a banner that reads "AVE GRATIA." In the center, a woman in flowing robes kneels with her hands clasped. Behind her, another scene unfolds: a man in robes stands beside a bed where a woman lies down, while a child sleeps nearby. The banner’s Latin phrase means "Hail, full of grace," a key phrase in Christian tradition. The detailed folds of the clothing and the precise lines suggest careful craftsmanship. This print was made using engraving.
