Amesimama bila viatu kwenye ukingo na kuonyesha umati kwa kidole.

Mtakatifu Yohana Mbatizaji na Mafarisayo (Saint Jean-Baptiste et les pharisiens)
James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York
Yohana amesimama kwenye ukingo wa mwamba juu ya mteremko wenye mawe, bila viatu, akiwa na kanzu fupi ya kahawia, na anawaonyesha kwa kidole watu waliokuja kumsikiliza chini. Tissot alichora tukio hili katika mwanga mkali wa mchana, na mawe meupe ya kijivu na kijani.
Chini yake umati umeketi na kusimama: wanaume wenye vilemba na majoho marefu, askari wawili wa Kirumi wenye majoho mekundu, watu wakipumzika juu ya miamba. Kwenye ukingo upande wa kulia, wanaume wawili waliovaa nyeupe wameketi kando na kutazama.
