Saint John

Hendrik Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person's upper half including the head, torso, and hands. The individual is seated, facing slightly to the left with an attentive expression. They have curly hair cascading around the shoulders. The clothing is draped and flowing. The right hand is resting on the chest, and the left hand is holding a cup. In the background, there are rocky formations and a sky with swirling clouds. A closed book is placed beside them.
