A striking and reverent early 20th-century Sacred Heart of Jesus statue, masterfully sculpted in polychrome plaster and finished with hand-applied paint and gilt accents. This devotional figure presents Christ in a traditional gesture of blessing and welcome, embodying themes of mercy, protection, and divine love.
The Sacred Heart — beautifully detailed with radiating rays and subtle gilding — forms the emotional and visual centerpiece of the sculpture. The flowing crimson robe with gold trim layered over soft ivory garments demonstrates the refined color palette characteristic of high-quality European devotional statuary from the period.
Originally intended for placement in a chapel, parish interior, or private devotional setting, this piece reflects the craftsmanship and spiritual symbolism of early 1900s Catholic art.
Standing at approximately 22 inches (56 cm) tall, the statue has a commanding yet elegant scale suitable for display on a console, pedestal, or within a curated interior. It integrates beautifully into Spanish Colonial, European traditional, monastery-inspired, or Old World interiors.
Condition is excellent for its age, with well-preserved paintwork and only light, honest wear consistent with time. The sculpture remains structurally sound and displays beautifully.
A meaningful acquisition for collectors of religious art or for those seeking a statement piece with history, symbolism, and soul.
