Velázquez's early use of oil on canvas in this work, circa 1622, showcases a masterful handling of paint that sculpts form and captures light, lending the young Saint John the Baptist an air of solitude and introspection. The painting depicts the saint as a hermit in the wilderness, his cross of reeds and pointing gesture signifying his prophetic role in foretelling Christ, the "lamb of God," as described in the New Testament. Recently attributed to a young Diego Velázquez, the more idealized treatment of the figure suggests it may have been painted after his brief 1622 visit to Madrid
