Mary and Elizabeth 1889

"Mary and Elizabeth" is a black and white engraving by American artist Timothy Cole, created in 1889. The artwork, which depicts the biblical story of Mary's visit to her cousin Elizabeth, is a fine example of Cole's mastery of the engraving technique. Cole's careful rendering of the figures and the architectural details creates a sense of realism and depth, while the use of light and shadow adds to the drama of the scene. The work is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
