Baptism of Christ: a man pours water on a kneeling nude in a river as men on a rocky bank gaze upward.

The Baptism of Christ

Nude and draped men stand on a rocky bank under a wide landscape while a robed man in a dark cloak pours water over a kneeling nude figure in a river at right. Above, a robed figure appears among clouds, and a distant blue hill range fades into haze.
