Franconia around 1500. A Franconian carved limewood figure of an Apostle, around 1500

Franconia around 1500 A Franconian carved limewood figure of an Apostle, around 1500 Carved three-quarters in the round, the reverse flattened and deeply hollowed out. Polychromy presumably the original, partially retouched in areas. Figure of a saint standing in contrapposto holding an open book, designed for a frontal viewpoint. The fine quality of this work, presumably depicting an apostle, is evident in the rendering of the details, especially in the rich pattern of drapery of the cloak. The toes of the right foot and the thumbs of both hands lacking. Losses to the plinth. Wear throughout. Height 90 cm.
