A captivating 18th century Italian sculpture, hand-carved in wood, then gessoed, painted, and parcel-gilt, depicting a heralding angel with tousled curls and windswept drapery. The figure’s expressive face and fluid movement are characteristic of early 18th century Baroque religious art, while the surface bears a beautiful aged patina.

Dating to circa 1730, this polychrome angel is now mounted on a custom Lucite base, offering a contemporary contrast that highlights its sculptural presence. A striking example of Italian devotional art, ideal for collectors of Baroque ecclesiastical sculpture, parcel-gilt figures, or historic religious iconography.
