Child Jesus On The Cross, Charming Alabaster Sculpture From The 19th Century

Christ Child On The Cross, Alabaster From The Early 19th Century.
The Christ Child In Adoration with the first fruits of his future. Moving alabaster statue from the 19th century representing the Christ child in adoration on the Cross. the representation of the child Jesus in meditation, alone facing his destiny thus resting on a cross is rare.
we already rarely see him depicted as a child meditating near a cross in his father's workshop (see painting by the Le Nain brothers) or pricking himself with a crown of thorns (see painting by Francisco De Zurbarán).
here we have this moving representation in a high quality statue. the Christ child is finely treated, the sculptor was able to convey in the face of the child the tragedy of his destiny, but also his inner radiance.
this work is rare in its iconography!
the drape of the clothing is superb, the hair, the face, her hands, her feet are sculpted with strength and emotion. a work of high quality.
a few small chips nothing major, look at the photos on the front of the garment.
a chip on a finger.
