A painting of two figures. The figure on the left is a man with shoulder length hair, barefoot, wearing a reddish-brown cloth wrapped around his body. The cloth is draped over his left shoulder, with a green sash around his waist. The man holds a long staff in his right hand and places his left hand on his chest. He stands on a gray floor in front of a dark area with a vaulted ceiling. The vaulted ceiling has a white and gray color scheme with gold accents. The figure on the right is a woman, much smaller, with long brown hair. She wears a white head covering and a blue dress with a white collar. She holds her hands together in front of her waist. The background behind her is not visible. The entire image is surrounded by a thick black border. The title of the artwork is "Saint John the Baptist; Saint Lucy".
