The Visitation of Elizabeth original: "Vifitatio Elifabeth"

7

A rectangular woodcut engraving depicts the biblical scene of the Visitation. On the left, the Virgin Mary stands with a radiant halo of light surrounding her head, dressed in heavy, flowing robes. She clasps the hand of Saint Elizabeth, who stands in the center facing her. To the right, a bearded older man, presumably Zechariah, stands near the entrance of a stone building, observing the meeting. The background features architectural elements of a house on the right and light foliage or rocky terrain on the left. The artistic style is characteristic of late 16th or early 17th-century European printmaking.
