The Baptism of Christ by Lucas Cranach. Two men kneel in shallow water; the one on the left wears a fur loincloth and holds a shell, while the one on the right wears a white loincloth and has his hands clasped in prayer. A red cloth lies on the ground to the left. A forest with deer is on the left side, and a town with buildings and a church is on the right side, in the background. A man with long hair and a beard floats in a halo of light above them, with a cloudy sky behind. Black text is written in the top-right corner.
