Head of Christ c. 19th century

"Head of Christ" is a 19th-century etching by American artist William B. Closson. The work depicts a close-up portrait of Christ with his eyes closed and head bowed in a contemplative pose. The artist's meticulous detail is evident in the fine lines that render the texture of Christ's hair and the delicate folds of his clothing. The piece is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and offers a glimpse into Closson's masterful technique and his exploration of religious subject matter.
