Engraving of a seated woman in a long robe beside a draped bed in a vaulted room, with a shaft of light entering from the left.

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.

Español: La Anunciación

Una mujer sentada, con una larga túnica, descansa al borde de una cama cubierta de telas en una habitación abovedada de muros de piedra. Un haz de luz intensa entra desde la izquierda sobre el suelo de baldosas y la alfombra estampada, mientras un arco con cortinas enmarca la escena; es un grabado en madera con trazos densos.

Uma mulher sentada, com um manto longo, repousa na borda de uma cama coberta por tecidos, em um quarto abobadado de paredes de pedra. Um feixe de luz intensa entra pela esquerda sobre o piso de azulejos e o tapete, enquanto um arco com cortinas emoldura a cena; é uma xilogravura de traços densos.
