Christ in Half-Length

Wilhelm Traut

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bust-length engraving of a man's upper body. The man has long, wavy hair and a full beard. He wears a draped garment, possibly a robe, with detailed folds. His head is turned slightly to the right, gazing upwards. The man's right hand is raised in a gesture. The background is plain, highlighting the engraving's lines and details. At the bottom is an inscription in Latin: "ADORATE DOMINVM OMNES SANCTI EIVS," accompanied by names, presumably of the artist and engraver.
