About the Item

18th century French hand carved and painted wood statue still shows vestiges of its original painted finish. Depicting a nun reading a bible, the nun's garments are of particular interest to students of sculpture. The simple garments are augmented by other accouterments of her chosen life, all rendered from a single block of old-growth oak. Such works would always be positioned in a place of honor in a room for all to see and appreciate, and represent the humble devotions of an obviously talented sculptor. Measures 24.5H x 12W x 6D circa 1790s.
