About this work
Saint John the Evangelist standing between two columns in an architectural frame. In one hand he holds the chalice from which a snake crawls, with his other hand making a blessing gesture. At his feet the eagle with an inkpot in its beak. With its claw it stands on the Gospel. In the background a view of a hilly landscape. In the frame below a two-line inscription in Latin.
