markdown# Authentic Antique Gabriel von Max "Jesus Christus" Stone Lithograph
## The Veil of Veronica (St. Veronica's Handkerchief) – Beautifully FramedUp for sale is a beautiful, guaranteed authentic antique stone lithograph print of Gabriel von Max’s famous 1874 masterpiece, **"Jesus Christus"** (also widely known as *The Veil of Veronica* or *St. Veronica's Handkerchief*). This piece is highly sought after by collectors for its incredible **optical illusion**: when viewed from different angles or distances, Christ's eyes appear to transition from completely closed to staring directly at the viewer. ### 🌟 100% Guaranteed Antique – Not a Modern Reproduction 🌟
Unlike the cheap modern digital reprints found online, this is a genuine period print dating from the late 19th to early 20th century.
* **Stone Lithograph Ink Grain:** Microscopic inspection shows the characteristic smooth, random, chaotic ink-grain pattern left by a traditional limestone block pressing. There are absolutely NO modern digital CMYK printer dots.
* **Original As-Found Backing:** The reverse features the original dark brown kraft backing paper, showing authentic age-related brittleness, wavy lines, and natural acid-darkening around the edges.
* **Period Hardware:** Suspended by its original heavy-gauge, oxidized, hand-twisted iron hanging wire and eyelets. ### 🖼️ Condition & Frame Details
The print is safely housed behind its original glass pane inside a stunning, period-correct ornate gilded wood frame. The frame features a gorgeous aged gold finish with subtle wear that gives it an unmistakable antique character. The print itself has aged to a beautiful, warm, deep sepia tone. ### 📐 Dimensions
