This polychrome wood sculpture of Saint John the Evangelist depicts him in deep contemplation, resting his head on his hand and holding a closed gospel. It reflects the transition from Romanesque to Gothic styles in Catalonia during the 13th–14th centuries, showcasing evolving expressions of spirituality and emotion in medieval religious iconography, often seen in Passion scenes.
