18th Century French Baby Jesus Santo Niño - Hand-Carved Wood with Gesso and Original Polychrome, 44 cm
A deeply expressive 18th-century French Santo Niño figure, representing the Baby Jesus, hand-carved from wood and covered with a traditional gesso (gypsum) base beneath its original polychrome paint. Standing approximately 44 cm (17.3 inches) tall.
Measuring approximately 44 cm (17.3 inches) in height, this sacred devotional figure was most likely crafted between 1750 and 1800 and originated from a monastic setting, where it was venerated in a monastery or religious cell.
The figure features articulated arms, a gentle facial expression, and a beautifully aged surface that reveals layers of worn paint and exposed gesso. Cracks, flaking, and surface loss add to its powerful presence and authentic wabi-sabi charm. This rare religious artifact is ideal for collectors of devotional art, sacred antiques, and folk Catholic heritage.
