The Annunciation

The Annunciation by Marek Szary is an oil painting on canvas, depicting a figure of a woman sitting on a black sofa, in a bright interior. The painting features a pared-down colour palette, dominated by white colours, as well as bright and dark grey colours. There is an oblong window or door with closed blinds, in the right section of the composition, while in the foreground one can see a glass vessel containing a twig with a single leaf, tilted to the right. The woman, sitting on the edge of the sofa, is wearing a habit-like garment and reading a letter held in her hands. [F. Pręgowski]
