Description from the seller
Saint bishop – carved and polychromed wood – Southern Netherlands / Flanders – second half of the 18th century
Professionally shipped – more than 1,000 five-star reviews worldwide.
Carved wooden sculpture of a saintly bishop wearing a mitre, executed in the Baroque tradition of the Southern Netherlands. The bishop is depicted frontally, dressed in long liturgical vestments and a wide mantle. He extends his right hand in a gesture of blessing. The sculpture was presumably intended for devotional use in a church or chapel.
Height approx. 49 cm; with old polychromy and remnants of gilding, in used condition with wear and paint loss, old wormholes and several cracks in the wood; losses to the mitre, left hand and in places to the base.
Please examine the photos carefully; they form part of the description.
Shipped with track and trace.
