François DUQUESNOY (1594 - 1643) d'après
Christ aux liens Bronze with light brown patina. H. : 21.5 cm 18th century White and red marble base. A 1709 print from the collection of François Girardon shows the same model, accompanied by a column, and describes it as "Christ de terre cuite modèle de F. Quesnoy ..." While the terracotta does not survive, versions are known in bronze and ivory, the finest of which is an ivory recently acquired by the National Gallery in Washington (2007.67.1). Depending on the version, Christ is shown with or without the column, or as here against a tree trunk. Bibliography M. Boudon-Mauchel, François du Quesnoy, Paris,2005, p. 226, no. ln.10.der.3 M. H.
