you gotta love Botticelli for that flower corsage on Gabriel's wing...and I do adore Mary's round bed!

2. de Hooch, Interior with Mother Delousing her Child

3. Balthus La Chambre

4. Hockney, Mr. and Mrs. Clark and Percy.

5. Ghirlandaio, Birth of John the Baptist (in Santa Maria Novella, Florence).

6. Gerome. Two Women in a Moorish Bath.

I hope to see ya'll next week, here in General Discussion!

2. I forgot the other detail I just love: Gabriel's feet.

one foot slightly over the other while he levitates outside her door.

In the other Botticelli Annunciation she's ready to push him away, she doesn't want to hear about it! In this one she has risen from her needlepoint in a relaxed way. This one is far more beautiful, IMO.
