Sketch to the Painting "Three Marys Walking to Christ's Tomb " is a 1855 oil by Józef Simmler, depicting Visitation, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows three women walking together, dressed in long robes and head coverings. The woman in the middle wears a blue robe, while the others wear orange and green. They seem to be on a journey, possibly to a tomb, as suggested by the title "Sketch to the Painting 'Three Marys Walking to Christ's Tomb'". The scene is set against a backdrop of hills and a body of water, with a few trees scattered about. The overall mood is one of solemnity and contemplation.
