Saint Anthony in Polychrome Wood Carving. Colonial School. 18th Century

Descriptio Carved and polychromed wood. Dimensions: 29 cm x 14 cm x 7 cm. Figure of Saint Anthony of Padua carrying the Child Jesus in one arm and a closed book in the other, dressed in a Franciscan habit decorated with embossing and traces of gilding. The polychrome, in ochre and greenish tones, retains some of its original luster. The expressiveness of the face and the frontality of the body are characteristic of 18th-century Spanish-American colonial sculpture, where popular devotion and formal simplicity coexist with profound spirituality. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
