Christ seen in half-length, holding a globe surmounted by a cross, after Reni 1600 - 1680

This anonymous etching from the 17th century is a copy after Guido Reni’s painting of Christ. The print depicts Christ in a half-length pose, holding a globe surmounted by a cross. The artist’s careful use of hatching and crosshatching gives a sense of volume and depth to the figure, which is typical of the Baroque style. The image is now a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
