Saint John the Baptist and Saint Onuphrius

Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two full-length male figures standing in a natural setting. The figure on the left has curly hair and a beard, wearing a long robe with a rope around his waist. He holds a lamb and a staff, with a contemplative expression. The figure on the right has a long beard and curly hair, wearing a draped garment leaving one shoulder bare. He holds a tablet or book, seemingly explaining something. Both figures stand near a large tree trunk amidst vegetation. In the background, there are rolling hills, trees, a cloudy sky, and distant ships, creating a rural landscape scene.
