Terracotta Christ with Lamb

19th Century

About the Item

Religious sculpture of a bearded Christ holding a lamb. This beautiful sculpture is made from terracotta with a layer of gesso. The sculpture is in distressed condition with the layer of gesso flaked off in areas which gives the sculpture some character and adds some aged beauty to the work. It is important to note that there is a repair/loss to the lamb's lower jaw which is barely noticeable. We believe the sculpture dates to the 19th century and ask potential buyers to review the photos to determine age as we are not experts in this particular field of art. A previous late owner was a collector of medieval and renaissance art so there is a possibility the sculpture may be earlier. The previous owner believed the piece to be French and he was a collector of note with several of his works now in museums and fine collections around the United States.
