A rectangular panel painting, titled "Saint John the Evangelist in Patmos" by Joan Reixach (c. 1470-1480), is displayed on a plain, light-colored wall. The artwork is housed at the Museu de Belles Arts de València, València, Spain. The painting depicts a young male saint with reddish-brown curly hair and a golden halo, dressed in a crimson cloak over dark attire, seated at a light-brown wooden writing desk. He is actively writing in an open book with a quill. A black crow, also adorned with a small golden halo, stands on the desk to the saint's right, holding a white scroll in its beak. The desk features an open compartment on its lower left, revealing a red-bound book inside. In the upper right background, two small colorful books rest on a narrow shelf. To the left, an arched opening reveals an exterior cityscape with white buildings, a prominent tall tower, and small figures on a paved street. The interior floor is tiled with a patterned surface. The painting is encased in an ornate, gilded Gothic frame featuring carved architectural and foliage motifs. A shadow is cast beneath the frame on the wall.
