CHRIST SCULPTURE. SOLID ONE PIECE. S.XIX.

Description:
- Sculpture of Christ in yellow bronze, from the first half of the 19th century. The sculpture is solid and of a single piece, with very careful proportions and a spectacular result, emphasizing the harmony and calm that transmits its contemplation.
- The casting of the image is very good, and its execution very careful, having generated a beautiful patina product of time with a very attractive and high quality appearance.
- The front details are very well worked, and the pupils of the eyes can be distinguished. There are no chiselled parts, the entire sculpture having been finished off with a smooth finish. The back is less well worked.
- There are perforations on both palms of the hands, as well as a perforation running simultaneously through the instep of both feet, as they are crossed.
- The surface of the bronze has a subtle crackle on the surface, which leads us to believe that at some point a colourless enamel or varnish was applied to it.
- The sculpture does not have any identifying marks or contrasts. Rarely do sculptures of Christ have any kind of distinctive mark or signature.
