Christ, left profile 1540 - 1599

This engraving by Melchior Lorck, dating from 1540–1599, depicts a left profile of Christ within an oval frame. The inscription encircling the image reads "CHRISTUS DEI FILIUS SALvator mundi rex regum et dominus dominorum," which translates to "Christ, Son of God, Savior of the world, King of Kings and Lord of Lords." The artwork's small size and detailed engraving suggest a focus on personal devotion. The meticulous detail in the hair, beard, and clothing of Christ highlight the artist's skill in capturing the figure's likeness.
