The Visitation by John Gerstner – Acrylic and Charcoal on Canvas, 48×49, framed

The Visitation unfolds as a contemplative and spiritually charged scene with three main characters. The male is rendered with subtle detail, allowing for a sense of mystery. The female is depicted with her hands touching her chin, facing forward with a neutral expression. Between them, a delicately outlined white dove, with a reddish beak and dark eyes, symbolizes the possibility of a peaceful connection betweeen the spiritual and human realms. The Visitation speaks to a state of being that transcends physical boundaries.
