Saint John the Baptist and Saint Christopher

Deutsche Grafik 1460–1470, 1470/1480

The image shows two panels with full-length figures. The left panel features a bearded man with long dark hair, standing upright and pointing with his right hand. He wears a ragged garment with a belt, holds a staff in his left hand, and a lamb rests on a book with a cross. A circular halo is behind his head. In the right panel, another bearded man with long hair wades through water, carrying a staff in his left hand. A child with a circular halo sits on his right shoulder, holding a globus cruciger in his right hand. The man wears a tunic tied with a sash and is barefoot, with his lower legs submerged in water. The background is simplistic, focusing on the figures and their attributes.
