Visitation: Mary and Elizabeth with Saints Joseph and Jerome

A crowded Mannerist scene in a classical piazza: two women embrace at center while a bearded man in a yellow cloak and onlookers gather around them. A nude old man with a red cloak stands at left beside a lion, a nude beggar sits at lower right, and a skull lies on the inlaid star-patterned floor.
