Mine is Mariotto Albertinelli's "Visitation" (1503) from the Uffizi.

Oooooo.

I like your avatar, MasterLcZ.

Is it Psyche and Eros?

BroadwayBrain, here's an official description of what "The Visitation" depicts (and yes they are about to kiss) :

"Mary left Nazareth at the end of March and went over the mountains to Hebron, south of Jerusalem, to wait upon her cousin Elizabeth, because her presence (and much more the presence of the Divine Child in her womb) was to be the source of very great graces to the Blessed John, Christ's Forerunner (Elizabeth was pregnant with John). The event is related in Luke 1:39-57. Feeling the presence of his Divine Saviour, John, upon the arrival of Mary, leaped in the womb of his mother; he was then cleansed from original sin and filled with the grace of God. At theis moment, Mary for the first time exercised her ability by her mediation to sanctify and glorify us."

Nondeplume, you win the Cupie Doll with the hula skirt! My avatar is indeed "Psyche and Eros" by William Bouguereau, one of my "guilty pleasure" painters. Here's a larger picture of it!

Because of the curly hair?

Eyes, hair, shape of face, neck.

And I like hula skirts, MasterLcZ.

Maybe he's an angel in disguise.

Pagan deity or angel?

So many divinities, so little time...
