This print shows a close-up view of a man's head, with no neck visible. The man is facing directly forward and looking out at us. He has light skin, a straight nose, a short beard and mustache, and slightly furrowed brows. His expression is neutral, and his face appears to be covered in small cuts or drops of blood. He has long, curling hair, and on top of his head is a circlet of thorny branches that cut into his scalp. Surrounding the head is a thin circle with some diagonal lines running through it, possibly representing a halo. Below the head are some words written faintly. The background of the print is beige paper.
