About the Item

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
