The Face of Christ: Kissing the Garment
An aged man kneels before a luminous robed figure and raises the hem of its garment towards his face. Radiating light encloses the standing body while dark rocks and snow surround the kneeling figure. Knapp’s illustration gives the act of recognition and reverence in Hall’s The Face of Christ a concentrated visual form.
