The Annunciation

A seated woman in a long robe rests on the edge of a draped bed in a vaulted, stone-walled room, her hands clasped in her lap. A shaft of bright light enters from the left across the tiled floor and patterned rug, while a cloth-hung arch frames the scene; the work is a wood engraving with dense hatched lines.
