Description:
Beautiful Sculpture of a Descent with San Francisco. The figure is one piece, made in calamine with brown patina. It is based on the picture of Murillo "San Francisco embracing Christ", preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville. The interpretation of the picture in a sculpture is really exceptional, especially in its backside. The work of the artist, as well as the execution of the figure, are of great quality. In its back part it has two small perforations, of which we have not been able to know objective. It is a rare piece to find. Very interesting as a collection and decorative piece. Spectacular in an illuminated alcove, with a minimalist decoration.

Comments:
Because the differences in tonalities between photos and reality are inevitable, it must be borne in mind that the color tones of the photos are not exactly the same as the tones of the actual colors. It presents the own attrition of its time, as well as some stains. It has small damages. The data provided here are unconfirmed personal opinions.
