Distinct Hand Carved Art Deco Sculpture of a Religious Man

About the Item

Distinct Hand Carved Art Deco Sculpture of a Religious Man with child. Early 20th century. Distinct and skillfully hand-carved art deco wood sculpture of a religious man with child. Very art deco with sharp lines and the use of 'en-profile' in depicting a human resembles art deco art works by - for example - Jan Toorop. The hand-carved sculpture shows great details like the folds in the religious habit, the hair and the overall proportions. And don't forget his feet and his sandals. Very thin and delicately executed, this wood carving is the work of a very skilled artist. A joy for the eye and great as a religious object but also appealing for the keen art deco lover. Great vintage quality.

Anyone who knows what it takes to create a bronze sculpture from start to finish realizes how special these works of art really are. For us to have found this rare, antique specimen more than made our day. Firstly, because we love the subject matter and secondly, because antique bronzes always are the best when it comes to the details and the patina. Both the serenity in Jesus' face and the way His cloth is perfectly draped around His sitting body are details that never fail to impress. The angelic faces of the two children who are clearly enjoying to be in His presence, make this meaningful and striking sculpture even more pleasant to look at.
