Bust portrait of a male figure with a large white turban adorned with beads hanging from the sides. He wears a necklace with a circlular pendant. His body is turned to the right as he faces the viewer. This series is a product of Jacovleff's involvement in the Expédition Citroën Centre-Asie.
John the Baptist pours water from a bowl onto Christ who stands in a stream. A Dominican nun kneels in the foreground below John and two angels look on in the background.
A small building and a fence with signs that read "Point de Vue" make up the center of the composition. A windmill stands in the background. This scene is set during a snowfall.
Two monkeys are depicted. One crouches on the ground holding a fruit. The other reclines on a broken tree.
