About the Item

This 19th-century French hand-carved pine statue depicts a charming scene of a drinking monk, capturing a moment of joviality and conviviality. The monk, carved with remarkable detail and expression, is depicted in a relaxed posture, holding a goblet in one hand and a bottle in the other. His face is animated, suggesting a moment of mirth or contemplation as he enjoys his drink. The intricate carving extends to the monk's robe, which drapes naturally and is adorned with subtle folds and textures. Standing at a height of approximately 51 cm, this statue is a testament to the skill of the craftsman and the whimsical nature of its subject. Whether displayed as a decorative piece or as a conversation starter, this statue is sure to bring a touch of warmth and character to any space.
