It is Finished 1875

"It is Finished," a marble bust sculpted by Lord Ronald Sutherland Gower in 1875, depicts the head and shoulders of Jesus Christ, crowned with thorns and his eyes closed. The sculpture is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and is a powerful portrayal of the final moments of Christ's life, evoking a sense of pain and sacrifice. Gower's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of Christ's features, including the thorns and the realistic representation of his beard and hair. This piece exemplifies the artistic style of the 19th century, particularly its focus on realism and its exploration of religious themes.
