This stylized black-and-white illustration captures the biblical event of Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River, rendered in bold linocut-inspired lines. John the Baptist stands on the riverbank, pouring water over Jesus’ bowed head, while a dove-symbol of the Holy Spirit-descends from above. Palm fronds frame the composition, evoking both wilderness setting and royal anointing, reinforcing themes of humility, obedience, and divine commission.
