Oil on panel depicting the Baptism of Christ by St. John the Baptist in the waters of the Jordan River, with three figures attending the scene; in the sky, several cherubs surround God the Father and a dove descending from the sky, probably Italian school in the taste of the Baroque paintings by Guido Reni (1575-1642) and Ottavio Vannini (1585-1644), late 18th-early 19th century.
The painting and its gilded frame are in good condition.
Please note: a crack in the restored panel (see red arrows), some soiling and ageing, see photos.
