19th Century Black Forest Carved Walnut Study of a Monk, German, circa 1890
About the Item
A superb black forest carved walnut study of a monk.
This exceptionally well carved bust of a 19th century monk has been produced out of a single piece of rich dense walnut and then mounted onto a separate walnut plinth, all original. It captures this portly and mischievous looking monk with great expression and character even down to the wink of an eye and moles on his face. He is possibly being reprimanded by a senior priest. This very tactile object is full of charm and character. Finely signed by the artist carver on his left shoulder J Chartron.
Circa 1890, in very good original condition with superb colour and patination.

He is dressed simply in a robe. On his back, he has a rolled woven mat for resting and a turtle shell sun hat hangs below. On his side hanging from his waist sash, there is a simple hand fan made from woven palm leaves and around his neck, he is wearing a string of very large beads. This unfortunate character is on a journey and he seems to have lost or broken one sandal. His foot is sore and he is resting it on his gnarly walking stick. He has one arm outstretched and is holding out a large piece of fresh fruit as an offering perhaps to barter for new sandals...Category
