Statue, Franciscaner broeder - 33 cm - Oak

Beautiful antique hand-carved wooden statue of a monk (often a Franciscan or Capuchin brother).
A craftily carved statue of good quality.
Such religious wood carvings predominantly come from Western Europe (such as France, Belgium, or southern Germany) and typically date from the late 19th century to the first half of the 20th century.

Features of the statue

• Material. The statue is carved from solid oak or walnut and has a warm, dark patina. The visible wood grain and the shrinkage crack in the base indicate genuine, older woodwork.

• Representation. The figure wears a classic robe with a large hood over the head, a beard, and a tonsured crown. His hands rest calmly in front of his abdomen, conveying a posture of prayer or contemplation.

• Style. The tight, vertical folds of the robe and the somewhat stylized facial features suit folk art and devotional craftsmanship from the period 1880–1920.

Dimensions: listed with the photos.

Condition: in generally good condition; a tip of the base is missing, see photos.
