The Annunciation (Study 2) 

"The Annunciation (Study 2)" is a study by Romanian artist Sorin Dumitrescu, born in 1946, depicting the biblical scene of the Annunciation. The watercolor painting uses a grid system to structure the composition, emphasizing geometric forms within a minimalist palette of cool grays and tans. The figures of the angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary are depicted in a simplified and abstracted style, with subtle shading and highlighting that evokes a sense of ethereal stillness. The piece's geometric and abstract nature echoes modern art movements, while still retaining its traditional religious subject matter.
