#Annunciation, C16th, by #PlautillaNelli (Italian, 1524–1588). Held by Gallerie degli Uffizi; source, advancingwomenartists.org/art-in-need/... #artherstory #womenartists #LadyDay #FeastOfTheAnnunciation
A portrait mode oil painting depicting the Annunciation. The setting seems to be a courtyard - a built structure with openings to the outdoors above and also through an arch in the back wall. At the right, Mary kneels at a little desk in an alcove, with her hands crossed over her breast. At the left, the Archangel Gabriel kneels on his right knee, holding a stalk of white lilies in his left hand (which rest on his bent left knee) and raising his right hand in benediction. From the top left corner, 5 parallel gold lines descend diagonally toward Mary's head, representing beams of light; a white dove rides the beams toward Mary.

Annunciation, 1659, by #MichaelinaWautier (So. Netherlands, 1617-1689). Held by Musée-promenade de Marly-le-Roi; source, KIK IRPA / Belgium's Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage, balat.kikirpa.be/photo.php?ob... #artherstory #womenartists #LadyDay #FeastOfTheAnnunciation
An oil painting of the Annunciation. Mary, in a tannish robe and blue cloak, turns away from the table where she kneels reading to look up at the Angel Gabriel. The winged angel, who has long brown hair and wears a red robe with a yellow-gold cloak, holds a stalk of lily in his left hand. With his right hand he points skyward. Between them, above their heads, in an opening in the clouds, is the Holy Spirit in the form of a white dove.

#Annunciation to Mary, 1997, by #LindaBruton (American, contemporary). Held by Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia (BHMVA); source, virginiahistory.org/learn/joy-wo... #artherstory #womenartists #LadyDay #FeastOfTheAnnunciation
A gold-framed mixed media rectangular artwork including magic marker and glitter, depicting the Annunciation. The setting is an interior, possibly a kitchen. At the left stands a Black woman in a purple and pink dress and a pink Keffiyeh-like head covering. She holds a tray or open container in front of her at about waist height. At right is a Black angel wearing a white gown with gold trim and a gold halo, reaching their arms toward the woman. The angel's head is noticeably higher than that of the woman; possibly the angel is hovering in the air. To the woman's right, at the left of the work, is a small, cloth-covered table on which sits a spoon and a knife. Behind it are wooden shelves holding crockery.
