St. Christopher. The saint’s patriarchal white beard is unusual, and the contrast between the rather small Christ Child (who is now difficult to see against the patterned background) on his left shoulder and his own gigantic stature is striking. Fish are present in the stream, as usual, with a flatfish resembling a skate prominent (bottom, centre right, as if standing on its tail). The yellowish humped mass at the left represents the far bank of the river towards which Christopher is wading.
