English: Christ at Rest. Pen and ink and brush, washes, white heightening, on ochre prepared paper, 15.8 × 20.7 cm, Berlin State Museums.
Holbein here portrays the Pensive Christ, resting briefly before his crucifixion. in the words of art historian Christian Müller, "The propped-up head is thus not only an expression of exhaustion but also a gesture of grief... this portrayal therefore invites the viewer to reflect on the suffering of Christ and arouses a mood of meditative contemplation" (Müller, p. 202). |
