Object description :

"Saint Teresa Of Avila – Spain – 18th Century "

In carved wood with a flat back, polychromed and gilded, our Holy Woman carries her heart, which suffered the delicious suffering of transverberation, that is to say when the absolute of the incarnate word penetrates the heart… “Cruel and delicious martyrdom” sums up Thérèse about this pain and the magnificent ecstasy of this fiery stroke, the lance of an angel she says, which touches her heart. In Carmelite habit, she is barefoot, as were the apostles.
A Spanish work from the 18th century appraised by Mr. Benoit Bertrand.
Dimensions of 68 cm high by 30 cm wide and 17 cm deep
