Description
Saint John of Nepomuceno. Carved, stewed and polychromed sculpture. Guatemala. Colonial School. 17th century. _x000D_
The marvellous stewing work on this sculpture is outstanding, which, as well as the sculptural work, gives the statue great movement and richness of colour. Magnificent polychroming of the skin tones. The saint is depicted according to custom, dressed as a canon, in other words with a cassock and an ermine surplice (symbol of purity). His right foot rests on a bridge, as a reminder of his death by drowning and his being the patron of engineers. _x000D_
Height: 55 cm.
