Porcelain Figure of Saint Joseph with Lilies, Vieux Paris
France, circa 1850.
Porcelain figure of Saint Joseph standing with one hand held to his chest and the other holding a stem of lilies, the blossoms and stalk picked out in gilt. The figure is modelled in full robes with finely detailed facial features and curled hair. The round pedestal base is painted with horizontal gilt bands, enhancing the sculptural silhouette of the saint.
Porseleinen beeld van de heilige Jozef met lelies, Vieux Paris.
Frankrijk, ca. 1850.
Porseleinen beeld van Sint Jozef, staand met één hand op de borst en in de andere een leliestengel, waarvan de bloemen en steel met goud zijn geaccentueerd. De figuur is gemodelleerd in vol gewaad met fijn uitgewerkte gelaatstrekken en gekruld haar. De ronde voet is beschilderd met horizontale vergulde banden, die het sculpturale silhouet van de heilige benadrukken.
28 cm. high.
Note:
Saint Joseph is traditionally depicted holding lilies, symbolising purity and his role as the chaste guardian of the Virgin Mary. This figure aligns stylistically with mid-19th-century Parisian porcelain known as Vieux Paris, characterised by its refined modelling, simple glazing, and gilt embellishment.
