This painting depicts a man in a red robe, walking through shallow water with a staff in his right hand. He has a child on his shoulder, and a red cloak flows behind him. In the background, there are rocky hills and a few buildings, set against a yellow and blue sky. The man's face is blurred, but his expression seems determined as he navigates the water. The child on his shoulder looks down, possibly at the water below. The scene is peaceful, with no signs of struggle or danger. This painting is a representation of Saint Christopher, and it can be compared to other works by the artist Konrad Witz.
