Measuring 32 x 25 cm, the painting is a half-bust portrait of Jesus Christ, depicted with a serene and compassionate countenance, looking slightly upwards and to the side, as if in contemplation or prayer.
The painting is characterized by its refined use of chiaroscuro and the soft modeling of Christ's features, which imbue the figure with a sense of three-dimensionality and spiritual presence. Bellini's skillful handling of the oil medium is evident in the delicate glazes that create a luminous effect on the skin and the intricate detailing of Christ's brown hair and beard, as well as the suggestion of a halo around his head.

The work is thought to have been intended for private devotion, allowing the viewer to engage in personal reflection and prayer through direct visual contact with the image of Christ.
The painting's provenance includes a history of ownership by various private collectors and has been exhibited in several prestigious institutions. As of the knowledge cutoff date, "Head of the Redeemer" is held in a public collection, allowing art enthusiasts and scholars to continue to appreciate and study this masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance.
