Ferdinand Parpan (1902–2004) – Carved Wooden Bust Of Christ
Wooden bust of Christ carved by Ferdinand Parpan (1902–2004), a French sculptor of Italian origin.
Christ is depicted with his head slightly bowed and his eyes cast downward, in a contemplative pose.
The sculpture is distinguished by the treatment of the hair, composed of long, parallel strands deeply carved into the wood. This graphic treatment contrasts with the softer modeling of the face and beard, which feature simplified forms.
The wood, with its warm, satiny patina, reveals its natural hues. The bust rests on a cubic wooden base painted black.
Signature “F. PARPAN” engraved on the shoulder.
