"This is Job 899 in Gill’s ledgers and it was carved for his own pleasure. Gill more usually depicts Christ as a man of action. Here he sleeps at peace with his head resting on his right hand, with his upper torso naked. In choosing to portray Christ asleep, Gill renders him tender and sensual. With his eyes close, it gives him a connection with heads of Buddha turned inward in meditation."
