The name of this work refers to The Visitation, an event recorded in the bible where the Virgin Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth to share with her the news that she is to give birth to Jesus. Epstein described the figure as expressing 'a humility so profound as to shame the beholder who comes to my sculpture expecting rhetoric or splendour of gesture'. The statue was meant to be one of a pair, though the other was never completed.
