The painting shows two women meeting, one of them pregnant. They're dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The women seem to be having a quiet conversation. This painting is interesting because it tells a story from the Bible. The story is about two women, Elizabeth and Mary, who are both pregnant. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: engraving.
