About this work

A nude male figure leans forward in a dynamic pose, gripping a tall staff topped with a cross and a small inscribed banner, with one foot planted on a rocky ledge. A loose gold-toned drape covers his hips, and a stormy sea and cloudy sky stretch behind him. The painting is catalogued as John the Baptist by William Etty, dated 1787.
