Description

Painting by Van Eno depicting the Annunciation. The composition follows a centuries-old model with the angel Gabriel on the left, the Virgin Mary on the right. On the left, the figure poses with her hand on her hip, her head slightly turned, showcasing a self-assured expression; her robe alternates between stripes of yellow, blue, and red. The figure on the right gently cradles her belly, directing a serene gaze downwards; her robe is marked with green and blue vertical stripes. The painting is framed by a tile-like patterned floor, adding a geometric contrast to the curved forms of the figures and landscape.
