Christ the Savior

Gabriel Ehinger

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper body of a man with his left arm raised and fingers extended upwards. He has a beard, wavy hair reaching his shoulders, and a calm expression on his face. He is dressed in flowing robes with intricate drapery. The background consists of numerous fine lines, creating an illusion of depth or light emanating from an unknown source to the left side of the image.
