This Baby Jesus in terracotta is a precious example of antique sacred art, featuring delicate modeling and an original patina that suggests a date from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. The figure displays open arms and a gentle expression, typical of devotional works of the period, with a plasticity that preserves all the charm of traditional craftsmanship.
The terracotta shows minor paint losses, consistent with its age and natural wear over time. Some fingers have been reconstructed through a conservative restoration, carried out to preserve the stability and readability of the figure without altering its historical character. The Baby Jesus is sold with a new glass dome, added in modern times, which protects the piece and enhances its display, making it ideal for collections of sacred art or devotional settings.
An authentic and sought‑after piece, perfect for those looking for a period devotional object with strong historical and aesthetic value.
