This anonymous 16th-century engraving, titled "Maria met kind en heilige Elisabet met Johannes de Doper bij palmboom," portrays the biblical scene of the Visitation, where the Virgin Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. The work depicts the two figures, Mary with the baby Jesus and Elizabeth with John the Baptist, seated by a palm tree in a landscape. The engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, captures the intimate moment of these two women's encounter with a focus on their interaction with their children. This work is an example of Northern Renaissance art, known for its detailed portrayal of figures and landscapes.
