Visitation 1768 - 1837

"Visitation" is a drawing created by Portuguese artist Domingos Sequeira in the late 18th century. It depicts the biblical scene of the Virgin Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. Sequeira's work is characterized by a dramatic chiaroscuro effect, with strong contrasts between light and dark. The drawing's composition is highly evocative, emphasizing the emotional intimacy between the two women. Sequeira's work is a significant contribution to the history of Portuguese art and an excellent example of the artist's skill in drawing and composition. This piece is currently located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
