The Visitation of the Virgin Mary to Elizabeth (?) Engraving by S. Mulinari, 1778.

After a lifetime of barrenness, Elizabeth and Zacharias were blessed with child six months before the Annunciation to Mary; their child was to be John the Baptist

This may not be a Visitation scene at all, but it is not unheard of for the two cousins to be accompanied by Mary Cleopas and Mary Salome
