A Large, Beautiful, 18th-century French Polychrome Carved Wooden Head Of Christ With Sulfur-colored Eyes
Artist: Non Signée
Generously sized and well-preserved, this lovely polychrome carved linden wood head of Christ, with its highly expressive sulfur-colored eyes from the mid-18th century, exudes a powerful presence. Created during the reign of Louis XV, with its elegant and meticulous carving, it presents a figure of singular beauty with long hair and a full beard. With its soft-toned paintwork, delicate brushwork, and size (height 20.5 cm), this beautiful piece is worthy of a “Cabinet of Curiosities,” where its spiritual presence will make quite an impression; the enigmatic face invites contemplation and is conducive to meditation—a way to soothe the mind. This beautiful piece is free of damage, in its original condition, and offers great decorative potential.
