Description from the seller
Christ on the Cross in limewood carved – Germany, 18th century
Limewood carved Christ in the round, depicting the dying Christ, the head inclined under a crown of thorns finely worked.
The perizonium is tied on the right hip and treated with soft folds, while the anatomy is rendered with great mastery, characteristic of German religious sculpture of the 18th century.
The quality of the sculpture is distinguished by the expressiveness of the face, the elegance of the proportions, and the beautiful dark brown patina of the wood, revealing the volumes of the work.
Provenance: Larminet-Davioud collection (Lille).
Good overall condition with rare wood cracks from shrinkage, in keeping with age.
Absence of the cross. Fine original patina
The photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. They allow one to appreciate its condition and characteristics. Please examine them carefully before any commitment
The object will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number, to guarantee fast and secure delivery.
