Head of the young Christ 1779

This engraving, *Head of the young Christ* (1779), by Heinrich Sintzenich (1752-1812), is a fine example of a devotional image. The central figure of Christ, portrayed as a young man, is presented in a simple and intimate manner, emphasizing his youthful innocence and divinity. The work is characterized by a realistic style, with careful attention to detail and subtle shading. This engraving is a testament to Sintzenich's skill as a draftsman and engraver, and it exemplifies the enduring popularity of devotional art in the 18th century.
