About this work

This painting of The Annunciation by Lucas Cranach the Elder, dated 1516, shows a winged angel in a red embroidered mantle and white robe presenting a sceptre to a kneeling woman in a red dress and blue mantle. A white dove with outstretched wings descends within a radiant halo above, while a white vase of flowers stands on the red-tiled floor between them. The green curtains and red canopy frame the woman beside an open book.
