Hoofd van Christus 1915

"Hoofd van Christus" (Head of Christ) is a 1915 print by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout (1881-1943). This small, detailed work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a close-up view of Christ's face with closed eyes. Schelfhout's use of sharp lines and stark contrasts creates a striking and expressive image. The print's small size (101 mm x 70 mm) emphasizes the intimacy of the subject matter and the viewer's connection with the divine.
