A finely carved wooden statue of a male saint, likely French, dating to the 19th century. This devotional figure is depicted in clerical robes with delicate facial features, inset glass eyes, and original polychrome and gilded finish. The sculpture is mounted on a circular painted and giltwood base with a faux marble effect, suggesting ecclesiastical or institutional use. The figure’s contemplative expression and naturalistic posture are rendered with care, highlighting the craftsmanship typical of the period. A surviving label beneath the base from Le Garde Meuble Public, Bedel & Cie., 18 Rue St Augustin, Paris offers provenance and suggests the piece was stored or handled professionally, possibly by a religious institution or estate.
