This limited-edition piece features intricate details and makes a wonderful addition to any art collection. It is an original 19th-century production, showcasing the craftsmanship of the period. Ideal for art lovers and collectors, this beautiful sculpture is sure to impress.
Joachim was, according to Christian tradition, the husband of Saint Anne, the father of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the maternal grandfather of Jesus.
We have four other statues available for sale.
