Artist: école Française

Beautiful devotional Christ on the Cross, 19th century Parisian work The ensemble captivates with its fine modeling, the recollected gentleness of the face, the elongated elegance of the anatomy and the beautiful movement of the perizonium tied on the hip.

The corpus presents an expression of restrained suffering, without excessive dramatic emphasis, in a spirit of sober, refined piety . The treatment of the torso, legs, hands and drapery testifies to meticulous workmanship (prominent veins , searching expression). The wooden cross is old, but may have been added.
