Christopher Christoffel, The bearded giant Christoffel wades through a river and has placed the right leg in front of the left. He rests with both hands on a tree trunk, which he uses as a staff, while bending the upper body leaning slightly to the left. He looks up at the Christ child kneeling on his back, who seems to be speaking to him. It blesses with the right hand and holds it with the left at a lock of hair. To the right of the turbulent water is a stretch of bank, with a hole. Christopher's tunic, with a belt around the waist, is closed on the chest with buttons and folded at the sleeve. The wide cloak goes from under the child's legs over Christoffel's right shoulder and under his arm, then runs over the back and left hip and hangs down with his end over his right forearm. Around the temples a stitched cloth over which hair strands fall, St. Christopher, with the infant Christ on his shoulders, wading through the water and carrying his staff (palm-tree), sometimes a hermit stands on the further bank beside a chapel, a lantern in his hand, anonymous, Nederrijn, c. 1520, oak (wood), h cm × w cm × d cm
