Central figures include Christ standing in the Jordan River, John the Baptist pouring water, God the Father enthroned above, and the Holy Spirit as a radiant dove; angels flank the scene, some holding garments and instruments of the Passion. Below, grotesque demonic figures are cast out, symbolizing the triumph of grace over sin.
