This expressive bust, carved from wood and finished with polychrome paint, is a fine example of 17th-century Italian sculpture. The work portrays Christ with a serious and pensive expression, his features conveying a sense of solemnity.
The sculptor’s skill is evident in the detailed carving of the beard and hair, which adds a sense of realism. The figure is draped in a blue mantle with a gilded interior and a yellow sash, a color scheme that was common in religious art of the period. The stylized ruff at the chest, highlighted in gold, suggests an influence from the Baroque tradition. Carved and polychrome wood. Height 35 cm
