This Sallman Head of Christ features a classic portrait silhouette and a smooth lithographic texture, offering a sophisticated mid-century aesthetic for curated gallery displays.
This world-renowned 1940s image, printed here as a vintage mid-century lithograph, captures the gentle expression and iconic profile of Jesus Christ that became a staple in homes and churches globally. The piece is housed in its original notched wood frame, which has acquired a naturally distressed patina over the decades.
While the artwork remains vibrant, this piece carries the character of its age with a small, singular scrape on the surface and a frame that shows intentional wear. The paper backing would benefit from a replacement to fully secure the lithograph, but the structural integrity of the display is sound. It serves as a grounded, spiritual focal point for a prayer corner, a study, or a traditional living room gallery wall, appealing to collectors of religious Americana and vintage sacred art alike.
Details: Measures 19" by 15". One small scrape on the picture, seen in photo. Very good condition. Wood frame is distressed and the backing needs replacement.
This item is vintage, over 60 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
