Figurine - Antonius van Padua met Jezus - Plaster

Beautiful plaster statue from the first half of the last century, depicting Anthony of Padua with the Child Jesus.

Anthony carries an open book on which the child Jesus sits. Anthony and Jesus look at each other, while Jesus holds a hand on Antony's face. Under Antony's right arm is a lily, a symbol of purity and innocence.

The book that Antony is holding may represent the Word of God and emphasize Antony's reputation as a scholar and preacher.

The statue is beautifully painted in vibrant colors that bring the details of the statue to life. It shows clear signs of use, which contributes to the authenticity and history of the piece. It is important to note that Jesus' head has been repaired from a fracture.

Anthony was a contemporary of Francis of Assisi and is considered an important saint. He was canonized in 1231.
