This painting shows a scene with two women meeting. The women are dressed in old-fashioned clothes and have serious faces. This scene is from a Bible story, and the artist included many details to make it look realistic. The artist used a technique to create this image, which is similar to what artist Goltzius, Hendrick used in other works, and is an example of the technique: engraving.
