The Virgin Annunciate

Italienische Malerei 1430–1460, ca. 1430

This painting shows a woman seated with her hands crossed over her chest. The woman is turned toward the left, and she has pale skin, rosy cheeks, a small mouth, light eyes, and shoulder-length blond hair. She is wearing a blue robe with gold edges over a long-sleeved red tunic. A golden halo surrounds her head, and an open book rests on her lap. The background is mostly dark red with some vertical lines in lighter shades of red. On the right is a dark fabric curtain with gold embellishments. The bench the woman sits on is light brown.
