Carved And Polychrome Wooden Bust Of Christ, France, 17th Century
A carved wooden bust of Christ, displayed on its original monoxyl base.
The wavy hair frames an elongated face with well-defined features, while the forked beard emphasizes the solemnity of the expression.
The work retains significant traces of its original polychromy, particularly on the face, lips, and clothing. Numerous signs of wear, old drips of devotional wax, and a deep patina attest to a long history in a religious setting.
This bust is part of the tradition of 17th-century French religious sculpture.
