Goossen van der Weyden was a Flemish artist who ran a large studio. His painting, Just after the Annunciation, the Virgin Mary visited her cousin Saint Elizabeth, who was also expecting a child. He was to be Saint John the Baptist. The figure in the background is probably Saint Zacharias or Saint Joseph. This work and 'The Flight into Egypt', by the same workshop, are from the same altarpiece.
