The Virgin Annunciate is a painting that depicts the Virgin Mary. She is shown standing, wearing a long dark robe with a hood over her head, and a lighter-colored dress underneath. Her hands are clasped together in front of her chest, and she looks downward. The background is light-colored, with some indistinct shapes visible. The Virgin Mary's robe has a decorative starburst design on the left side of her chest. The overall style of the painting is simple and restrained, with an emphasis on the Virgin's quiet dignity. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this painting, you might want to look up Neroccio di Bartolomeo de' Landi.
