"Brief met hoofd van Christus" (1922) by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout is a charcoal drawing of the head of Christ. The drawing is a study for a larger work, possibly a painting. The image shows a close-up of Christ's head with his eyes closed and a crown of thorns. Schelfhout's drawing captures the pain and suffering of Christ in a powerful and moving way. This artwork is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in the Netherlands.
