Description from the seller
Exquisite polychrome wooden sculpture depicting Saint Joseph from the 18th-19th century.
The work stands out for its virtuoso drapery, with deep folds and broad volumes that create a vibrant play of light and shadow. The robe is richly decorated with floral motifs. The face of the Saint expresses a profound spiritual intensity, accentuated by the gaze directed downward and the eloquent gesture of the right hand.
The original polychromy, rendered in warm brown and ochre tones, preserves an ancient, tactile charm.
A piece of remarkable visual impact and high craftsmanship, ideal for collectors of sacred art.
The sculpture rests on a transparent glass base.
Dimensions: 59x22x32 cm
Good overall preservation condition; slight material flaws due to the normal passage of time. Small imperfections due to the era that attest to its authenticity, considering that it is an antique work.
Please carefully observe the photographs as they are an integral part of the description; any defects are present in the photos.
Tracked shipment including secure packaging, any customs duties and taxes will be at the buyer's expense.
