"Head of Christ" is a drawing by the renowned Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. The drawing depicts the head of Christ, rendered in delicate strokes of brown and black chalk, with the subject's eyes closed in a moment of profound contemplation. The gentle shading and subtle contours of the face highlight Da Vinci's mastery of anatomical detail and his ability to evoke emotion through subtle expressions. While the exact date of this drawing is unknown, it is believed to have been created during the late 15th or early 16th century. This piece is housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg, a testament to Da Vinci's enduring influence on art history.
