This elegant sculpture captures the tender and profound interaction between Saint Anthony of Padua and the Child Jesus. The Saint, dressed in the traditional Franciscan habit in warm shades of brown, is depicted in an upright position, with a serene and affectionate expression. The folds of the garment are meticulously defined, giving the figure a sense of movement and volume.
The Child Jesus, naked, is lovingly cradled in the Saint's left arm and holds a small bunch of white lilies, a symbol of purity and innocence. Details such as the knotted cord of the habit, the book, and the small golden crucifix hanging from his waist add authenticity and preciousness to the work.
Ideal for domestic devotion at 20 cm, this statue is produced using a fine combination of resin and wood powder. This material gives the work superior strength while maintaining an aesthetic finish that faithfully recalls traditional carving, with a slightly opaque texture and carefully hand-painted details.
