Annunciation

Description

The Virgin stands before an open book as an angel approaches with a message. A small dove appears above, and a kneeling figure occupies the foreground. The vertical composition creates a clear upward path from the human encounter to the sacred sign. In “An angel approaches the Virgin beside an open book and a small dove,” the details of open book and small dove give the scene a specific character. The emphasis shifts from open book to small dove across the scene.
