John the Baptist preaching; In front of a rocky; overgrown landscape; John stands leaning with both arms on a balustrade; formed from a horizontal trunk; placed between two trees. His gaze goes to the left in the direction of a woman sitting at his feet; facing the center. He holds a naked boy on her knee with her left hand; while she reaches the breast with the right. Behind the child a man sitting frontally (the head is missing). The boy has placed his right hand on his mother's chest; but looks back at the seated king; who holds down his scepter in the right hand and lets the left rest on his right arm. Behind this is a young man with the eye on the child. The left hand sticks out of the jacket; which is loosely over the shoulders and completely covers the arm; the right hand is based on the hilt of a sword. Johannes is wearing a dress with frayed sleeves and a loose cloak tied on one shoulder. The woman in profile with a headscarf is dressed in a Renaissance robe; which is suspended around the waist and once again underneath. The cloak hanging from her left shoulder hangs down a large bend and lightly over the right thigh and the left knee. The king; wearing a crown; wears a robe with a broad collar; with bells hanging on it; and high boots; the arm protrudes through the elbow slit of the long sleeve. The figure standing to his right wears a beret with a feather held by a band under the chin and over a pleated shirt a paltrok; including a pair of waffle patterned shorts; trimmed with split decoration; the hanging sleeve of the jacket shows a split at elbow height. The sitting man's robe has a square neckline; along which a regularly cut edge. The representation is set in a round frame and forms part of a square panel; each corner of which is filled by a decorative shaped putto; which places both hands on an animal head resulting from a floral pattern. At both upper putti a slit band connects the lower body with a leaf ornament; Gouda; anonymous; Holland; c. 1530
