The painting is divided into three sections. The left section is of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus in the Jordan River. The middle section is of Saint Jerome sitting on a hill in the grass. The right section is of Saint Anthony the Hermit sitting alone.

John the Baptist is helping Jesus connect with God by baptizing him. John is kneeling on a patch of grass pouring water over the head of Jesus who stands in the Jordan River.

Below Saint Jerome is a miniature cross with Jesus on it. He has a stone in his hand and is preparing to throw it at Jesus. In the distance, you can see a small group of travelers and their donkeys. There are also a few buildings and people along a path behind Saint Jerome.
