Portret van Christus 1633

"Portret van Christus" is a 1633 engraving by Paulus Pontius, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work is a close-up portrait of Christ, depicted in profile, with his long, flowing hair and beard. The use of hatching and cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of depth and realism in the portrait. This work is considered a fine example of Renaissance-era engraving and is highly valued for its technical mastery and religious significance.
