Ary Scheffer’s *Study For Christus Consolator* (c. 1837) is a red chalk drawing that depicts the head and shoulders of Jesus Christ. This study is a preparatory work for a larger painting, *Christus Consolator*, which depicts Jesus Christ comforting a grieving woman. The drawing captures the solemn and compassionate features of Christ, emphasizing the religious and spiritual themes of the work. Scheffer's work is known for its emotional intensity and Romantic style. His portrayal of religious subjects was highly popular during the 19th century.
