- композиция:
- The painting depicts the meeting of Virgin and St Elizabeth, with poetic intimacy: Elizabeth recognizes Maria as the Mother of God and kisses Her hand.
- The idyllic landscape, which is in harmony with the figures, further enhances the poetic mood of the picture.
- The flowers iris and the peony shown in the foreground are the symbols of Maria.
- However, while in the paintings of Rogier van der Weyden, for example, the earlier mentioned flowers were modestly hidden in the meticulously painted grass, in Master M S's work they become the corner-stones of the composition.
- The representation of these flowers suggest the direct study of nature, which could have been associated with the wide spread of herbariums.
