The apostle John stands in an architectural setting. He leans against a large cooking pot and holds a book in his right hand, a cup in his left. His left foot rests on a square stone block. This print is part of a series of 14 prints, each consisting of a full-length effigy of an apostle, Christ or Paul with typical attributes and a caption in Latin.
