Angel of the Annunciation

The painting is described by Vasari. A drawing survives among studies for the Battle of Anghiari.

The drawing at right, known as The Incarnate Angel is a satirical copy, perhaps by Salaì, in the Kunstmuseum Basel. There are some extant copies of the subject by Leonardeschi, including:
