Description
Large Mexican Colonial Carving of Saint Francis, 17th-18th Century Polychrome wood carving. Measures 150 x 70 x 36 cm. Retaining much of its original polychromy. A three-dimensional image of a standing Franciscan saint, with a tonsure, short beard, and habit with wide sleeves and a large hood folded over the shoulders. In his left hand, he holds a model of a church with a façade, bell gable, and portal-an attribute that is central to the iconographic identification-while his right hand is extended in an expressive gesture. The figure rests on a rectangular base and wears a pink tunic with a grayish mantle, featuring wide, heavy folds that fall vertically on both sides.
