Christ is a 1892 ink by Émile Bernard, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a woodcut print of a man on a cross, with a woman kneeling below him. The man has long hair and a beard, and is wearing a loincloth. He is nailed to the cross with his arms outstretched. The woman is dressed in a long robe and has her head bowed. The background of the print is plain, with no other details visible. The print is done in black ink on cream-colored paper, with bold lines and simple shapes. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look into the Impressionism movement.
