" Angel, Archangel Or Saint, On A Base. Carved And Polychrome Wood, Textile, Etc. "
Angel, archangel, or saint, on a base. Carved and polychrome wood, textiles, etc. Spanish School, 17th century.It has some flaws.
Carved, polychrome, and gilded wood sculpture depicting a young man in classical-style armor, which also features a jewel (or remnants thereof) on his chest. It also includes slightly animated fabrics, on which traces of the gilding that once covered them can be seen. Iconographically, as it lacks attributes, it is not clearly identifiable, but by comparing the poses and the armor, it could be a sculpture of the archangel Saint Michael (note the two hollows in the back, where the wings were located).
