Ceramic Figure of the Risen Christ, by Charles Vos (1888–1954)
Charles Vos, signed "Ch. Vos" to the reverse of the base.
The Netherlands, circa 1940.
Ceramic figure of the Risen Christ, depicted standing in a blessing gesture with the right hand raised and a dove perched upon the left shoulder. Clad in a long robe incised with the Sacred Heart motif, the figure rises from swirling stylised clouds, the base inscribed with the Latin phrase PAX HUIC DOMUI (“Peace to this house”). Rendered in ochre-toned ceramic with a lightly polished surface, the work exhibits elongated proportions, stylised drapery, and angular detailing characteristic of Vos’s devotional sculpture.

Charles Vos (1888–1954) was a leading figure in 20th-century Dutch religious sculpture.
