Annunciatie 1704 - 1785

"Annunciatie" is an engraving by Jan Lauwryn Krafft, depicting the Annunciation, a key event in Christian tradition. The print portrays the Angel Gabriel appearing before the Virgin Mary, who is kneeling in prayer. The scene is set in a room, with a crucifix visible in the background. Krafft's work is characterized by detailed cross-hatching, creating a sense of depth and light, and highlights the solemnity of the moment. The small size of the engraving suggests it was intended for personal devotion or as part of a series of religious prints. The image's focus on detail and intricate lines is typical of the engraving style popular in the 17th and 18th centuries.
