Antique carved wood sculpture of a pensive Christ.
He is depicted with his crown of thorns and  his hands tied by a rope. He is contemplating, sitting just before the crucifixion.
Here the artist didn't carve a rock but has Jesus sitting on a wooden block.
Early 20th century. Found in the North of France.
 
The details are beautiful. Look at the face, hair or the rope!
The artist decided to leave the surface unsmoothed so you can see and feel the traces of his handiwork and tools.
It was once painted but the colours have almost completely gone. Some traces are still visible.
Some white marks and imperfections commensurate with age.
The staining of the wood is uneven and some varnish is visible in some places. We can see underneath that the wood used is alighter shade.
It really has a beautiful patina!
 
The wood used is quite light and the whole statue weighs 500 grams.
Approxiamtely 32 cm / 12.59 inches tall.
 
This is a fantastic depiction of Christ that I very rarely find!
The pictures are part of the description.
