Lovely Lady

I saw this painting at the art museum and I've thought back to it often the past few days. Mary is kneeling, praying, with book in hand which is open to Isaiah 7:14 " A young woman is with child and she will bear a son." I love this painting. Mary is prepared; waiting for whatever God wills for her life. She is so humble, submissive and full of love. She is so lovely!!
