About the Item

This evocative sculpture of the Baby Jesus, crafted in 18th-century Portugal, reflects the devotional artistry and religious sensibility of the period. Modeled in polychrome plaster, the figure depicts the Child Jesus standing with serene expression and gentle gesture, embodying innocence and divine grace. The sculpture is presented on its original painted wooden base, which enhances its presence and raises the total height to 44 cm (the figure itself measuring 34 cm). Over the centuries, the work has undergone natural wear and visible restoration: it was at one point broken and reassembled by careful gluing, and areas of the surface have been repainted, attesting to its long devotional use. Despite these interventions, the piece maintains remarkable charm and historical significance, standing as a tangible witness to Portuguese 18th-century religious craftsmanship and enduring faith.
