Religious Sculpture In Polychrome Wood – Saint Peter – 18th Century

Polychrome wooden sculpture representing Saint Peter, dating from the 18th century. This exceptional piece illustrates remarkable craftsmanship with a majestic posture and a solemn expression.

The saint is depicted wearing a finely carved tunic with elegant folds, embellished with an original polychromy that is still visible.
His left hand holds a book, a symbol of the divine word, while his raised right hand seems to bless or teach. The richness of the details, particularly the finely carved hair and beard, testifies to the work of a high-quality workshop. The wear of time, visible on the polychromy, gives this sculpture an authentic patina that reinforces its charm and history.
