Jesus is shown in half-length holding a transparent orb, which identifies him as Salvator Mundi, or Saviour of the World. He looks out, not at the viewer but slightly toward the left. A dark green curtain hangs behind him, while a window on the right opens onto a mountainous landscape punctuated by a building and two small figures. The composition derives from a painting by the Venetian painter Jacopo Palma il Vecchio (around 1479–1528), now in Strasbourg, of which several variants are known, attesting to that painting’s popularity.
