About the Item
Un Christ is a unique smoke-fired stoneware sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 174 × 53 × 35 cm (68.5 × 20.8 × 13.7 in). Dimensions include wooden base (wood table).
This sculpture is a unique piece signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Dimensions (excluding plinth): 94 × 53 × 15 cm (approx. 37 × 20.9 × 5.9 in)
Weight (without plinth): 10 kg (approx. 22 lbs)
The piece is available with either a round or square plinth, both optional.
Indicative plinth dimensions: 80 × 35 × 35 cm (approx. 31.5 × 13.8 × 13.8 in). All dimensions are approximate.
While the crucifixion is an uncommon theme in Raynal’s work, this piece originated as a private commission. The artist took significant creative liberties with traditional iconography, stating:
"I could not nail a man down. Undoubtedly because a man nailed to the cross cannot give an embrace. And it seemed to me this man wanted to embrace humans."
The sculpture was exhibited at Rêves(s) de filles at the Maurice Denis Museum in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, and later photographed during Raynal’s solo exhibition À la table des Dames (At the Ladies’ Table) at Montivilliers Abbey in Normandy (2025).
Whether portraying humans or animals, Cécile Raynal’s sculptures serve as a way of exploring the world. Her creative process involves traveling to remote, forgotten, or marginalized places, where she gathers life stories and immortalizes them in clay. Her work has been featured in esteemed institutions such as the Musée des Arts et Métiers (Paris, 2018), and she has received major public commissions, including a bronze sculpture of Winston Churchill in Cap-d’Ail, France.

Cécile Raynal
Whether human or animal, Cécile Raynal’s figures are a way to explore the world. The artist travels to remote, forgotten or marginal places immortalising in clay life stories that she brings back to her studio. Her work has been exhibited in prestigious museums such as the Musée des Arts et Métiers (Paris, 2018) and is the subject of ambitious public commissions such as the bronze sculpture of Winston Churchill in Cap-d’Ail (France). “The result of chance or sought-after encounters, my work starts with the sculpted portrait, a totemic record of each of these confrontations, and builds itself on the complicity, the exchanges and the correspondence resulting from them.”
