19th Century Signed Giry Relief Plaque - Finely Carved Religious Limestone Scene

A captivating 19th-century devotional plaque, masterfully carved in relief from limestone and encased in a beautifully patinated brass frame. This exquisite piece portrays a serene religious scene with remarkable depth and detail, signed by the artist "GIRY."

The central figure, shown kneeling in prayer amidst an architectural backdrop and trees, is rendered with graceful drapery and expressive realism. The limestone’s natural tone and subtle texture enhance the lifelike quality of the carving, while the twisted brass frame adds a touch of elegance with its floral motifs and warm aged finish.

* Origin & Period: France, 19th century
* Artist Signature: Signed "GIRY" in the lower part of the composition
* Materials: Carved limestone relief with a gilded and patinated brass frame
* Dimensions: Height 10 cm (3.93 in), Width 8 cm (3.15 in), Depth 1.8 cm (0.70 in)
* Condition: Very good antique condition with light signs of age, consistent with time

This piece is not only a testament to exceptional craftsmanship but also a rare collectible for connoisseurs of religious art or 19th-century French limestone work. Ideal as a devotional object or an elegant addition to a refined collection.
