This drawing, *The Visitation of Mary*, was created by Giuseppe Porta, also known as *Il Salviati*, between 1520 and 1575. The piece depicts the Biblical story of the Visitation, when Mary, the mother of Jesus, visits her cousin Elizabeth, who is also pregnant with John the Baptist. The drawing features a delicate and intricate style, typical of Salviati's work, with a focus on the figures and their interaction. The work is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
