A serene depiction of a biblical scene, inspired by Matthew 3:11. The setting is a calm river with clear water, surrounded by desert-like terrain with sparse vegetation, under a wide, cloudy sky. Centered in the scene is a Middle-Eastern man dressed in humble clothing, speaking to a diverse crowd of people. He is making grand gestures as if delivering a passionate sermon. A bit further on the river, another man is baptising a third individual. This scene is done in the style of Victorian era watercolor paintings, with soft hues, fluid forms, and a focus on light and atmospheric effects.
