Description

A unique line, pure and inspired, to embody the face of Christ according to Cocteau: between faith, poetry and modernity.

Jean Cocteau, poet, draughtsman and magician of lines, delivers here an inner vision of Christ. Entitled Étude pour le Christ (Study for Christ), this lithograph, printed in an edition of just 150, is distinguished by the elegance of its line, both calligraphic and meditative.
This vellum print bears the hand-engraved number 118/150, and the dry stamp of the Cocteau workshop, a guarantee of its quality and authenticity. A printed signature, followed by an asterisk, completes the composition. The drawing is sober, almost Byzantine in its streamlined frontality, yet deeply embodied.

Christ's head, seen in profile, seems to float out of time, between mystery and light.
Presented in a sober, elegant frame under glass, this rare work is ready to hang. It will appeal to both Cocteau fans and collectors of twentieth-century sacred art.

In a peaceful bedroom, a silent library or a spiritually-infused study, this Cocteau line becomes a discreet breath of transcendence. It calls for calm and inner listening.
