This 17th-century print, "Christus" by an anonymous artist, depicts a bust-length portrait of Jesus Christ, with his hair and beard flowing in a serene manner. The image is displayed within an oval frame and is characteristic of the religious art of the period. It was likely intended for devotional purposes and would have been part of a book or other publication, as evidenced by the surrounding text. This piece exemplifies the style of engravings common in 17th-century Europe, and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
