Ecce Agnes Dei /Behold the Lamb of God

Ecce Agnes Dei / Behold the Lamb of God (c.1655) Estaban Murillo depicts adult John the Baptist and Jesus together. John the Baptist has his traditional iconography of being barefoot with camel skin clothing, staff with cross and red cloak as well as gesturing toward Jesus. Jesus is standing humbly with his purple cloak. It is fairly unique to show adult Jesus and his cousin John the Baptist as adults, it is one of four paintings that Murillo did for a church in Seville that described the life of John the Baptist. It is speculation on our part, but I think Jesus has been recently baptized by his cousin and is ready to head into the desert before beginning his ministry.
