Hand carved, the singular face exhibits pursed lips and sulky eyes, evoking the peculiar expressions of Renaissance painting cherubs. The carved drapery and the curls cascading down the forehead reveals the artist’s skillful hand, while the abruptly cut arms and fabric exhibit a quaint Greek influence. A striking antique, this one-of-a-kind folk art piece imparts an idiosyncratic charm. See less
