Christ Full-Length

About this work

This is a black-and-white engraving of a bearded man in a long robe. His right hand is raised with fingers spread, like he’s speaking or blessing someone. The cloak drapes over his left arm, and the fabric looks textured with cross-hatching lines. The text below says it’s meant to be a true likeness of Christ, based on an earlier sketch. The waves under his feet suggest he’s standing on clouds or water. Next, check out engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints with just lines.
