"St. John with the Lamb" (c. 1520) is a pen and ink drawing by the Northern Renaissance artist Aert Claesz. The work depicts St. John the Baptist seated in a landscape setting, holding a lamb. The drawing is notable for its detailed rendering of both the figure and the surrounding landscape, as well as its use of chiaroscuro to create depth and volume. This is a smaller drawing, measuring only 194 x 189 mm and currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
