Wilton album, folio 52a: The Annunciation; an angel to the left, holding a lily and pointing to the heavens; the Virgin, kneeling on the right with arms outstretched
On folio 52 with one other print: 27.78.1(177)
For more information on the Wilton album see entry for 27.78.1(1-428)
Undescribed by Bartsch, this relatively rare etching is usually attributed to Salimbeni, and is included among Salimbeni's prints in the Wilton Album. The etching technique and figure types do recall Salimbeni's manner, but many details, such as the figures' hard profiles and the execution of the hands, seem more awkward and less refined than Salimbeni's signed etchings. An attribution to Salimbeni, therefore, apppears unlikely, though the composition may be based on one of his designs.
An impression of the state published in Rome by Nicolaus van Aelst, who acquired a republished a number of Salimbeni's plates
