In The Sudarium of Saint Veronica, Claude Mellan engraves the face of Christ from a single spiraling stroke, starting at the nose and expanding outward with uncanny control. No crosshatching, no flourish. Just pressure, precision, and belief rendered as form. Send to someone who knows that less is often everything.
This artwork is currently held by the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
