Head Of Christ In Gilded Plaster

Very beautiful head of Christ in gilded plaster.
The face proposed by the artist is of great serenity: the closed eyes, the extremely fine straight nose, the half-open mouth and the peaceful features give this impression of tranquility.
The work is of great precision.
The beard, the mustache, the eyebrows and the hair are finely executed.
The upper lip and the closed eyelids reveal the same finesse.
This small work, on which a dark red mixture visible on the back and unidentified gilding have been applied, clearly suggests that it may be a study by a renowned sculptor for a larger work.
You can only be seduced by this very decorative piece which, hung in an entrance hall, a hallway or a bedroom, will bring an aura of tranquility.
