South German late 18th century A South German house altar with the Assumption of the Virgin, late 18th century Carved wood with presumably original polychromy; the paintings oil on panel. The central compartment of this house altar depicts the Assumption of the Virgin with a figure of God the Father and the dove of the Holy Spirit. The architectural framework encorporates figures of Saint Joseph, a further saint, and two angels. The painting on the predella shows three angels with an inscribed cartouche dated 1793 flanked by two further angels, Saint James, and a crowned saint with a sword. One wing of the upper left angel and one of Saint James' fingers lost, the staff and sword loosely attached. Minimal wear. 103 x 51 x 16.5 cm.
