A substantial plaster bust depicting Christ, executed in a traditional devotional style with hand-painted detail.

The figure is shown with long flowing hair and a softly modelled beard, his expression contemplative and serene, conveying the classic iconography associated with religious sculpture.

The surface retains its original painted finish, with warm flesh tones and darker robes providing contrast and depth.

Subtle wear to the paintwork enhances the overall character of the piece, giving it an authentic aged presence consistent with devotional objects of this type.

The bust is mounted on an integral base and bears a maker’s signature to the reverse, adding further interest.

Pieces of this scale were often used for church interiors, private chapels, or domestic devotional settings, and remain highly sought after for both religious and decorative display.
