Painting of Christ being baptized in a river by a bearded man in red robes, with a dove above and a town in the background.

The Baptism of Christ in the Jordan, right panel of a triptych

A painted panel shows Christ standing waist-deep in a green river while a bearded man in a red-pink cloak pours water over his head. Two attendants in the background watch beside a townscape, and a dove descends toward a bright cloud at the upper edge.
