This expert suggests that the work may be by a Brabantian woodcarving artist. There were several talented woodcarvers and sculptors active in both Belgian and Dutch Brabant and in Limburg during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who often worked for churches in the surrounding regions. These artists specialized in Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance styles, which were very popular for church interiors at that time.
