"Statue In Golden Wood, Probably Representing A Holy Character. 17th Century. Italy"
Beautiful gilded wooden statue, representing a holy man. Perhaps a Father of the Church, or another saint. Je holds the Bible with his left hand. There is no decorative element to identify it. Beautiful posture, contraposto, well-defined drape and very elegant. Impeccable gilding, probably redone. 17th century, Italy.
