A beautiful head of Christ in gilded plaster.
The face depicted by the artist is one of great serenity: the closed eyes, the extremely fine straight nose, the half-open mouth, and the calm features give an impression of tranquility.
The work is extremely precise.
The beard, mustache, eyebrows, and hair are finely executed.
The upper lip and closed eyelids reveal the same finesse.
This small work, to which a dark red mixture visible on the back and unidentified gilding have been applied, clearly suggests that it may be a study by a renowned sculptor for a larger work.
You cannot help but be captivated by this highly decorative piece, which, hung in an entrance hall, vestibule, hallway, or bedroom, will bring an aura of tranquility.
