- Lot Description
Spanish Era, Southeast Asia, Philippines, ca. 19th century CE. A very tall, hand-carved religious figure holding three flowers in the crook of his right elbow with his right hand crossed over this chest and making a gripping gesture, his right hand held to his body by his left hand. He wears a billowing shirt tied in a bow at the neck over a buttoned lower robe. His handsome face appears to be quite pensive, looking downward, as if in deep contemplation. Since we cannot see the attribute he once held in his left hand, it is difficult to identify him. However, we can certainly appreciate his prayerful state and how realistically the sculptor rendered his head and hands - with remarkably naturalistic facial features, fingers, and gestures as well as a generally somber demeanor. Size: 44.5" H (113 cm)
This statue may represent San Pascual Bailon, the son of poor shepherds who spent the first 24 years of his life as a shepherd. Perhaps he once held a shepherd's crook in his left hand. Six years after initially being refused, Pascual Bailon was admitted to the barefoot Friars Minor. Saint Pascual Bailon devoted himself to the sick and the impoverished. Popular legends refer to him as the patron saint of cooks and the kitchen. While he is oftentimes invoked for cheerfulness, he is occasionally depicted praying or in a levitated state. Here the sculptor has presented him with a serious, prayerful demeanor.
