Saint John of Calvary in poplar carved in the round and polychromed. Standing with his left leg slightly bent, he brings his left hand to his cheek in a gesture of affliction; short hair framing a face marked by an expression of deep sadness; realistic features with wrinkled forehead, frowning eyebrows, protruding eyes with crow's feet, lined with thin eyelids, half-open mouth with a bitter expression emphasized by naso-labial furrows; He is dressed in a long belted tunic, closed on the chest by buttons, and in an open cloak whose panels are held around the elbows, falling in an open and stepped V on one side, in undulations on the other. Traces of mortises on the right side.
