A vertically oriented oil painting depicts Elizabeth and the Virgin Mary with light skin tones clasping hands. On our left, Elizabeth wears red and tan. On our right, Mary wears a green gown and a long white veil blowing horizontally. A man watches from behind a tree on our left. Above them, a bird in a radiant circle glows against a dark, stormy sky and a distant rocky hill with a castle.
