Head of Christ

Head of Christ is a close, three-quarter view portrait of Jesus set against a dark, neutral background. Light from the left models the face with warm flesh tones and ochre highlights, while the hair, beard, and cloak fall into deep browns and blacks, creating a strong chiaroscuro effect. The painting uses textured brushwork and layered glazes in earthy colors, reflecting Rembrandt’s Baroque realism and its contemplative, intimate mood.
