This etching, titled "Visitatie," was created by Gabriel Huquier, a French artist active in the 18th century. The scene depicts the biblical event of the Visitation, where the Virgin Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. The detailed etching captures the moment of their encounter, with Mary's halo highlighting her divine status. The piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Huquier's skill in capturing emotion and religious reverence within a small format.
