Christ of Saint John of the Cross by Salvador Dalí

Christ of Saint John of the Cross by Salvador Dalí (1951). Although it is a depiction of the crucifixion, there are no nails, blood, or a crown of thorns, because, according to Dalí, a dream indicated to him that these features would mar his depiction of Christ.
When signing autographs for fans, Dalí would often keep their pens.
