Pierre Drevet's 18th-century engraving "Annunciatie" depicts the Annunciation, a central event in Christian theology, where the angel Gabriel informs the Virgin Mary of her divine pregnancy. The composition is striking, with the angel Gabriel dramatically descending from the heavens, his wings spread wide, while Mary, kneeling in prayer, receives the news with a mixture of awe and humility. This powerful image captures the moment of divine intervention and the significance of the Annunciation as a cornerstone of Christian faith.
