Hoofd van verrijzende Christus 1683 - 1733

"Hoofd van verrijzende Christus" (Head of the Rising Christ), a red chalk drawing by Bernard Picart, depicts a close-up view of a bearded man with long, flowing hair. The subject is likely a depiction of Jesus Christ, as he appears to be rising from a reclining position, creating an aura of spiritual awakening. This drawing, created sometime between 1683 and 1733, exemplifies the meticulous detail and anatomical accuracy characteristic of Picart's work. The drawing's gridded background suggests it was possibly a study for a larger composition, highlighting the artist's commitment to precision and his exploration of human form and religious iconography.
