THE JESUS NAVE IN TALK WITH JOHANNES THE DEPRETEE
Oil on canvas
. 74 x 99 cm.
In an open landscape, in the light of the setting sun, the naked Jesus Boy sitting on a stone on a blue, wrinkled cloth with blond curly hair and reddened cheeks, turning towards John. The latter, partly sitting on the ground, is wearing a fur robe and holds a white rotulus upwards in his left hand, to which he points with his right hand with his index finger stretched out. He looks intensively at Jesus, who tries to grab the rotulus with his right hand. Between the two is John's cross staff on the ground and behind him a wooden baptismal font between grasses. Painting, in which the two children are particularly emphasized against the dark background by the light incarnate parts. Retouching. (1240293) (18) Automatically translated by DeepL.
