"Visitatie" is a black and white etching by Claude Duflos, an artist born in 1665. The etching depicts the biblical scene of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary to her cousin Elizabeth. In this scene, the Virgin Mary is seen entering the home of Elizabeth, both women are embracing in a tender moment. The composition is simple and focused on the two figures, the image is created with fine lines and hatching, typical of etching, a technique that Duflos mastered during his career. This etching dates from between 1675 and 1727, it was most likely part of a series of prints illustrating events from the life of Christ.
