Christ in Half-Length

About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a bearded man with long hair and a serious look. He’s wearing a loose robe that drapes over his shoulders. His hands are folded in front of him, and the lines in the image are all smooth curves, almost like waves. The text at the bottom says *"Adorate Dominum Omnes Sancti Eivs"*—that’s Latin for something like "All his saints, worship the Lord." This print was made using a technique where the artist carves into wood and then presses ink onto it. Next, check out how this was made with woodcut.
