Heads of Apostles is a 1850 by Thomas Cheesman, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print features two apostles, their heads bent in prayer. The apostle on the left has short hair and a beard, while the one on the right has longer hair and a mustache. Both wear robes and have halos around their heads. The apostles are depicted in a contemplative mood, their faces serene and focused. The print is rendered in a range of grays, with subtle shading that adds depth and dimension to the image. The level of detail in the print suggests a high level of skill on the part of the artist, Cheesman, Thomas.
Heads of Apostles is a print on paper by Thomas Cheesman, created after a work by Giotto. The image depicts the heads of apostles in a stylistic reference to the original composition.
