Carved in flat-backed wood, polychromed and gilded, our Holy Woman carries her heart, which has suffered the delicious pain of transverberation, that is, when the absolute of the incarnate Word penetrates the heart...
"Cruel and delicious martyrdom" is how Thérèse sums up this pain, and the magnificent ecstasy of that fiery stroke, the lance of an angel she says, that touches her heart.
Dressed as a Carmelite nun, she is barefoot, as were the apostles.
An 18th-century Spanish work appraised by Monsieur Benoit Bertrand.
Dimensions: 68 cm high x 30 cm wide x 17 cm deep.
A few missing pieces - traces of old woodborers.
