This remarkable Naples saint figure, dating to the 19th century, showcases the masterful artistry of traditional Neapolitan craftsmanship. Hand-painted and rendered in terracotta, the life-like religious sculpture is dressed in period linen garments, with delicate silver thread details adorning the feet and inset glass eyes lending an expressive, soulful gaze.
Standing at an impressive 4 feet 6 inches tall, this devotional figure embodies the richness of Southern Italian religious folk art. An exceptional piece for collectors of Neapolitan creche figures, ecclesiastical antiques, or 19th century Italian terracotta sculpture, it serves as a dramatic focal point in any sacred, historical, or curated interior setting.
