The Baptism of Christ

Italienische Grafik 1579–1623,

The image shows two figures positioned outdoors on a natural surface. Both figures are shown fully from head to toe, in motion. One figure reaches outward with their arm, while the other figure's body is turned slightly away. Both figures have detailed facial features, with hair styled in loose curls. They are minimally clothed with fabric draped around their lower bodies. The background is plain with faint sketch lines hinting at a landscape.
