St John the Baptist

About this work

This painting depicts a man standing in a landscape, dressed in a red robe draped over his shoulder and a white cloth around his waist. He holds a staff in his right hand and a book in his left. At his feet are a lamb and a dog. In the background, there is a body of water, trees, and mountains. The man is barefoot, and his hair is curly. The painting is detailed, with visible brushstrokes and textures. The colors are muted, with shades of green, brown, and blue dominating the palette. The painting is held at the Fitzwilliam Museum.
