Black-and-white woodcut of a bearded, long-haired man with a halo in an oval frame, surrounded by Latin inscriptions and a decorative border.

Jesus Christ. Woodcut by C. van Sichem III.

A bearded man with long hair and a haloed head is shown in bust length within an oval frame, his gaze directed forward. Fine parallel hatching in the background and drapery gives the black-and-white woodcut its engraved texture, and Latin inscriptions surround the oval border on a decorative rectangular frame.

Español: Jesucristo, xilografía de Christoffel van Sichem III

Un hombre barbado de cabello largo y cabeza con halo aparece en busto dentro de un marco oval, con la mirada dirigida al frente. Trazos finos y paralelos en el fondo y en los pliegues de la tela dan a la xilografía en blanco y negro una textura de grabado, y leyendas en latín rodean el borde oval.

Português: Jesus Cristo, xilogravura de Christoffel van Sichem III

Um homem barbado, de cabelos longos e cabeça com auréola, aparece em busto dentro de uma moldura oval, com o olhar voltado para a frente. Hachuras finas e paralelas no fundo e nas dobras das vestes dão à xilogravura em preto e branco uma textura de gravura, e inscrições em latim circundam a borda oval.
