Saint John the Evangelist

Cleveland Museum of Art

Saint John the Evangelist by an unknown artist is a statue of a man with short curly hair, wearing a long tunic and a shawl. The statue is painted with faded red, yellow, and white paint. The figure has his head tilted up and his right hand raised. He is barefoot and stands on a circular base. The tunic is draped over his left shoulder and across his body, with folds of fabric hanging down. A yellow shawl or cloak is draped over his shoulders. The background is a dark red wall with a shadow cast behind the statue. The statue stands on a red platform.
