"Saint Francis Xavier". Reverse glass. Canton. China. Quing Dynasty. Late 18th century. Very interesting and curious piece, made by a Chinese artist, but for the French market. In fact, the way of treating the sleeves of the white robe, reminds us of the aesthetics that we would find in a Quan Yin. It is also interesting the detail of the crucifix that the saint carries in his hand, made in ivory. Pictorially, it is also of great quality and fineness. Undoubtedly a rarity. 27 x 22 cm.
