Composition

Mary's posture is used to symbolize her status as the Mother of Christ. The view behind Mary is panoramic, suggesting that she has walked a long distance. Mary's posture is straight, in comparison to Elizabeth, who has her knee slightly bent towards the ground. Both of the women have a hand placed upon the stomach of the other. Near the door of the mansion, Zachary, the husband of Elizabeth, plays with a dog.[1]
