Head of Christ

A dark, close-up painted head of a bearded man with long hair falling past his shoulders, eyes lowered and head tilted to the left. Warm ochre light falls on the face and brow, while the hair, beard and shadowy brown background dissolve into darkness, in a thick, loosely brushed oil technique.

Español: Cabeza de Cristo

Una cabeza pintada de cerca, en tonos oscuros, de un hombre barbado con cabello largo que cae sobre los hombros, con los ojos bajos e inclinada hacia la izquierda. Una luz ocre cálida ilumina el rostro y la frente, mientras el cabello, la barba y el fondo pardo se disuelven en sombra, con una pincelada densa y suelta al óleo.

Português: Cabeça de Cristo

Uma cabeça pintada de perto, em tons escuros, de um homem barbudo com cabelos longos caindo sobre os ombros, olhos baixos e cabeça inclinada para a esquerda. Uma luz ocre quente incide sobre o rosto e a testa, enquanto os cabelos, a barba e o fundo castanho se dissolvem na sombra, em pincelada densa e solta a óleo.
