The Holy Face (La sainte face) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Holy Face (La sainte face), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 8 3/8 x 4 9/16 in. (21.3 x 11.6 cm). As Jesus continues on his route to Calvary, a woman now known as Saint Veronica approaches to offer momentary respite.

In his commentary, Tissot notes that this relic was later taken to Rome for safekeeping by the Church. European Art 1886-1894
