This woodcut print, created by an anonymous artist around 1475, depicts Christ as Salvator Mundi, the "Savior of the World." Christ is shown with his right hand raised in blessing, and in his left hand he holds a globe, symbolizing his dominion over the world. Above him, a banner suggests his divine authority, echoing his role as king. This woodcut exemplifies the simplified, linear style typical of Northern Renaissance woodcuts, with a focus on clear lines and a sense of solidity in the figure.
