About the Item

A charming rustic wooden figure from Guatemala, carved in a naïve folk style and retaining its original polychrome decoration. The figure is depicted standing, with one arm raised in a gesture of greeting or blessing, and wears a simply rendered tunic decorated with hand-painted linear and cross motifs in blue, red, and ochre tones. The expressive face, with almond-shaped eyes and stylized features, reflects the regional devotional carving traditions of rural Guatemala. Visible wear, paint loss, and surface patina are consistent with age and devotional use, contributing to the sculpture’s authenticity and strong folk-art character.

19th Century Polychrome Jesus of Gethsemane
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This evocative devotional sculpture portrays Jesus in a moment of deep reflection before His capture in Gethsemane. Shown seated with one hand resting against His cheek, He contemplates the suffering to come — the crown of thorns, the wound in His side, and the crucifixion itself. The primitive carving style and richly crackled surface lend the figure a powerful emotional immediacy and spiritual intimacy. Traces of original polychrome paint remain, with areas of natural age wear and loss that reveal the wood beneath, enhancing its time-worn beauty. The sculpture’s expressive simplicity and devotional sincerity mark it as a moving example of 19th-century folk religious art
