This is a detailed image of an early 14th century French sculpture of the Virgin Mary at the moment of the Annunciation. It is delicately carved limestone with traces of paint. It was made in Paris between 1300 and 1310. Interrupted in her spiritual meditations, the Virgin Mary modestly recoils from the archangel Gabriel (now lost), whose message foretells the birth of the Christ Child. In her right hand, she holds a prayer book; her left hand modestly holds her veil over her bosom and seems to gesture to her heart, as if to say, "who, me?" The statuette's sensitively carved features and slight smile, elongated proportions, and graceful draperies show stylistic analogies to courtly art in Paris.
