Sepia etching of two bearded men: a hairy figure in animal skin holding a staff at left, and a robed man gesturing with one hand at right.

John the Baptist meets Jesus Christ, sepia etching after Pollaiuolo

A sepia-toned etching of two bearded men standing side by side. On the left, a hairy, nearly unclothed figure in an animal skin leans on a long staff, while on the right a robed man in a flowing cloak extends one hand toward him. Fine hatching and a small object lie on the ground between their feet.
