A meticulous monochrome pen drawing modelled on a stone sculpture of the Head of Christ. The sculpture itself is from the Netherlands in the late 15th century, and is remarkable in the manner in which the stone has been carved to represent wood thorns piercing the forehead. This drawing has been painstakingly rendered using stippling, a technique where the image slowly emerges out of the repeated application many thousands of very fine dots with a technical pen. This subtle method of drawing imbues the image with an unrivalled delicacy, displaying gentle tonal transitions uncharacteristic of works in pen.
Made using the highest quality inks and paper to ensure many years of viewing enjoyment.
