About Ecce Ancilla Domini study
Latin for 'Behold the Handmaid of the Lord', the Virgin Mary's response to the Annunciation. Dante Gabriel Rossetti made this study for his painting Ecce Ancilla Domini (The Annunciation).
You can see it at Tate Britain in London, United Kingdom. Dante Gabriel Rossetti created it. The delicate drawing shows his preparation for the finished work.
"Behold the Handmaid of the Lord" are Mary's words at the Annunciation. Rossetti's radical Pre-Raphaelite version shows a startled, realistic young woman rather than an idealized Madonna.
