A vertically oriented print in black ink depicts Saint Christopher, a man with light skin tone and a long beard, wading through water. Shaded with dense hash marks and draped in folded robes, he leans right, gripping a wooden staff. He carries the nude Christ child, who has rays of light around his head, on his shoulders. A tree stands on the right, and the letters I. H. appear centered above.
