Italian carved and parcel-gilt wood bust of a bishop/saint, mid-19th century, with a painted face and flowing beard, wearing the traditional mitre, his carved robes decorated with incised flowers and leaves.

Dimensions: 36.5" x 24.5" x 8"

Condition

The bust shows visible signs of wear consistent with age, including chipped paint and cracks in the wood. The polychrome finish has areas of significant loss, particularly around the shoulders and edges of the robes. The wood itself has noticeable age cracks, particularly on the back of the mitre. There are areas of previous restoration, as seen in patches of touch-up paint.
