Annunciatie 1831 - 1904

This is a drawing titled "Annunciatie" created by Arnoud Schaepkens between 1831 and 1904. The drawing depicts the Annunciation, a scene from the Bible in which the Angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will give birth to Jesus. The angel is shown with wings, and Mary is shown in a kneeling position. The drawing is executed in a simple, almost archaic style, recalling medieval art. This drawing is a good example of how Arnoud Schaepkens was inspired by historical art.
