The Visitation is a 1735 ink by John Baptist Jackson, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two women standing close together. One is draped in a long robe, her head covered by a veil. The other wears a simpler dress and leans against her, looking down. Behind them, a town with domed buildings sits under a cloudy sky, while a pillar and a globe rest on the right side. The soft shadows and light create a gentle mood, typical of the time. The artist used multiple woodblocks to layer colors, giving it depth. Look up woodcut next to see how this technique works.
John Baptist Jackson (1701–1780) was a British artist, a woodcut printmaker of the eighteenth century.
