Credit LineGift of Ruth W. and Clarence J. Boldt, Jr.Subject matterLa Visitation belongs to the "Album de la Revue Blanche," a portfolio of prints by artists associated with La Revue Blanche, a periodical of art and literature. The album featured works of several members of the Nabis group, to which Denis was a founding member, and was published in Paris in 1895 by L'Estampe Originale. This piece is representative of Denis's flat painting style and preferred use of muted colors.
