Description from the seller
Christ with the Reed – Oval plaque in polychrome enamel, 17th century
Rare oval plaque painted in polychrome enamel depicting Christ with the reed (Ecce Homo), on a deep blue background with an aubergine counter-enamel.
Christ is shown crowned with thorns, hands bound, holding the reed, in keeping with a classic Passion iconography.
The treatment of the face, the finesse of the flesh tones, the gold highlights of the cloak, and the intensity of the blue background attest to work of fine quality, characteristic of enamel production of the 17th century.
The plaque shows chips and losses visible, notably at the periphery
Despite this condition, the pictorial quality and the expressive force of the composition remain remarkable.
The photos are an integral part of the description of the objects and complement its presentation. They allow one to assess its condition and features.
Please examine them carefully before any bidding
The object will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number, to ensure fast and secure delivery.
Happy bidding
