Sculpture – Central Italy – 17th Century – Carved and lacquered wood.

Statue depicting a missionary, probably part of a larger sculptural group.

Central Italy, the hieratic rigidity makes it rightfully placed in the 17th Century.

Carved wood with traces of ancient lacquering on the green and traces of gold.

Sweet look and a hint of mockery that is unsuitable for a religious man and Dark Helmet hairstyle (cit., pop cit.!)

Deficiencies, wear and patina, but true antiquity and the state of conservation of which the price takes into account.
