Bildbeschreibung
The image shows a person standing forward-facing, with one arm raised and the other holding a staff with a cross and ribbon. The individual has distinct facial features, calm expression, parted hair, and is draped in red and blue clothes with fur over one shoulder. A golden halo surrounds them, with a lamb nearby. In the background are smaller figures, with the scene framed by an arch with flowers and vines. Text at the bottom reads, "ST JEAN BAPTISTE PRIEZ POUR NOUS."
