About the Item

A beautiful and old life-size bust of Christ in an abstract or brutal style, made of terracotta. This sculpture likely dates from the first half of the 20th century. It has a lovely patina of age, and is unsigned. This raw sculpture was made by a skilled amateur sculptor. The artist has successfully captured the emotion in the face. In this sculpture, Christ's face is slightly turned downward, as depicted in the bronze Renaissance masterpiece "The Incredulity of St. Thomas" by Andrea del Verrocchio. This object is in excellent vintage condition, with signs of age and use consistent with its age and material. A few minor chips along the lower edge are not obtrusive. Please see the photos for more details! Dimensions: 38x22x39cm. Weight: 8.3kg. Please contact us regarding a personalized shipping quote or if shipping costs for your country aren't listed among the shipping options, shipping possible worldwide!

Large Antique Hand Carved Sandstone Sculpture, Bust of Christ with Display Stand
Located in Lisse, NL
Top quality and mint condition bust sculpture from the early 1900s with maker's name. This incredibly well carved bust of Jesus is impressive both for its quality and its large size. With His head bowed down like in His final hours on the cross this design is obviously perfect for displaying on a tall stand. In this case a tall and ebonized wooden pedestal was used and thanks to the contrasting colors of this bust and its pedestal they are like a match made in heaven. The master sculptor / artist could not have done a better job in hand carving the exhausted yet serene facial expression of Christ. The large size of this bust combined with the rare sandstone material makes this work of religious art look extra ancient. Because of its size this archetype of Christianity can also be seen and worshipped from further away. Unfortunately we cannot read the name of the skilled artisan who signed this unique sculpture. Thanks to its amazing quality, its excellent condition, its deeper meaning and its powerful presence this work of religious art will never fail to impress, no matter where you decide to have it on display. For it to have come our way felt like a blessing and to be able to offer it to the 1stdibs community in this amazing condition is an honour for us. Our fair price for this museum worthy sculpture again includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Total height x width x depth: 74 x 17 x 16.5 inches. Christ bust...
