Saint John is represented standing and has an incredible presence, he holds in his right hand a hollowed-out wooden spade flower or rather a receptacle to place a palm or a branch of boxwood or an olive tree. Very expressive with abundant hair, he is represented with his left hand on his heart and he is dressed in long clothes, his feet are bare and the pleats and movement give the appearance, his left leg in front appearing as if he walked in harmony with the right hand advanced in opposition, it is a sculpture made around 1680 and the abundant curly hair suits him well, his generous face and his large, long and fine hands.. The oak is breast is not not tinted which gives it a blonde color plus a large piece 1.01 meters which is not negligible for a beautiful staging
