Pair of Dutch Baroque Carved Oak Figures of Seated Angels

拍品描述

18th Century Each figure carved in the round, the torsos twisting and the drapery with fluid folds; the faces with full cheeks and curling hair, the arms extended outward in lively gesture; on later pedestals with molded edges. Height of figures 57 inches (144.5 cm), width 30 inches (76 cm), depth 24 inches (61cm). Footnote: The present angels exemplify the robust and expressive character of Dutch Baroque woodcarving of the 18th century, where sculptural ornament played an integral role in ecclesiastical interiors. Such figures were commonly executed in oak and formed part of elaborate church furnishing, particularly pulpits, choir screens, and organ case, where animated putti and angels contributed to a sense of movement and spiritual drama. The deeply carved drapery, energetic poses, and emotive physiognomy align with Northern European interpretations of the Baroque. Their scale further supports an origin within a monumental setting. 品相： No condition report?
