Carved Figure

Stock No 2279 

Oak carved figure of St John the Evangelist, East Netherlands, circa 1520. The representation is typical of St John with the long wavey flowing hair, the beardless face, together with the right hand raised in blessing and the book held in the left. The quality of the carving is first rate with the face expressing serenity and the folds of the garments enhancing his pose. The figure would originally have been polychromed. The base has had some restoration and one foot and the fingers of his right hand are missing.
