The Annunciation - Angel Gabriel Visits the Virgin Mary #10929 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed black-and-white woodcut illustrates the biblical Annunciation scene, where the Archangel Gabriel, adorned with large feathered wings and draped robes, presents white lilies-symbols of purity and the Immaculate Conception-to the Virgin Mary, who bows in humble acceptance. The setting includes a wooden interior with a small table bearing a basket, evoking domestic simplicity and sacred intimacy. Fine linework emphasizes texture, movement, and reverence, characteristic of religious illustration from the Victorian era.

Used on theological, art history, or Catholic devotion websites to illustrate the Annunciation narrative; serves educational, devotional, or liturgical purposes, especially during Advent or the Feast of the Annunciation (March 25).
