Hoofd van Christus 1915

"Hoofd van Christus" (Head of Christ) is a 1915 etching by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork is a close-up of Christ's face with closed eyes, a prominent beard, and a crown of thorns hinted at by the stylized lines around his head. The artist employed a graphic and angular style to represent the subject, typical of early 20th-century art. The image exhibits both a sense of solemnity and quiet strength, resonating with viewers through its timeless religious themes.
