A painting depicts a statue of a man with a beard and long hair, wearing a long robe, standing on a dark wooden base. The statue is white and appears to be made of stone. The man's right arm is bent across his chest, and his left arm rests on a ledge with an animal, possibly a lamb, beside it. He stands barefoot. The background of the painting shows a recessed area with stone walls, featuring a lighter-colored stone border and darker stone inlay. The overall scene is set against a flat, two-dimensional backdrop. The title of the piece is "Saint John the Baptist" and it is by Dieric Bouts.
