Q116296272 is a 1522 oil by Ambrosius Benson, a northern_renaissance work, depicting john the baptist, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
The painting depicts a man in a red robe, holding a lamb. He is standing in front of a landscape with trees and buildings in the background. The man's robe is draped over his left shoulder, and he is pointing at the lamb with his right hand. The lamb is white and appears to be sitting on a book or other object. The background of the painting is a muted greenish-brown color, with the trees and buildings visible in the distance. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Ambrosius Benson, a Flemish painter known for his religious and portrait paintings.
