The Annunciation (L'Annonciation) is a 1893 ink by Carlos Schwabe, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this painting, a woman kneels on the left side, her head tilted upward and her hands outstretched. On the right side, a winged figure stands, holding a candle and looking down at the woman. The scene is rendered in soft, muted colors. The woman's long hair flows down her back, and her dress is draped elegantly around her. The winged figure's wings are spread wide, and its face is serene. The painting's gentle, dreamlike quality invites the viewer to step into its peaceful world.
