Orientalist Religious Figure. Period: 19th century. Carved wood. Height: 84 cm. This elegant 19th-century carved wood sculpture depicts a sacred female figure of oriental inspiration, likely originating from the religious or decorative art of South or Southeast Asia. The figure stands in a hieratic and balanced posture, with a serene face and finely modeled features. The high, richly ornamented headdress, reminiscent of a crown or diadem, is rendered with great attention to detail. The deeply carved drapery of the garment harmoniously follows the body, creating a dynamic and elegant interplay of folds, highlighting the sculptor's technical mastery. The hands are arranged in a symbolic gesture, reinforcing the spiritual dimension of the work. The reverse is also finely worked, demonstrating careful carving in the round. The surface displays a beautiful, dark brown patina with natural variations in color due to age, as well as slight wear and signs of use, without any major alteration. A decorative and spiritual work of beautiful presence, typical of the orientalist taste and the craze for Asian arts in the 19th century, ideal for a collector, lover of exotic art or to be showcased in a refined interior.
