content: St John the Baptist in the Wilderness; to the left, St John sits upon a rock by a stream holding a dish, his reed cross propped up on a rock beside him; a ray of divine light, with Hebrew letters symbolizing God, emanates from above; to left, water pours from the rocks into a pool below, from which a lamb drinks in the foreground; a mountainous landscape behind.
