A vertically oriented page within a golden architectural frame depicts Saint John the Baptist. Facing our left, the man has light skin, wavy hair, and a circular halo. Draped in voluminous, reddish-brown robes, he cradles a book topped with a small white lamb, pointing toward it with his right index finger. Behind him, a brick wall and rolling hills sit beneath a blue sky, above several lines of Latin text.
