Provenance
Vente Christie's Paris, le 7 avril 2009, lot 12
Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate but the blue colour is lighter in reality.
There are some chips, especially to the man's beard and a minor one to the edge of the base.
There are spurious surface scratches to the edges, to the base, to the drapery and the beard.
There is a spurious inscription "fait à Rouen / 1647" on the back.
Impressive sculpture which would benefit from a gentle cleaning.
