GERMAN, PROBABLY MUNICH, LATE 17TH OR EARLY 18TH CENTURY

Although this figure harks back to the golden age of German wood carving in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, it corresponds in its finer details to the tradition of German religious wood carving around 1700, and can be compared to a pearwood relief of the Ecce Homo in the Kunst und Gewerbemuseum in Hamburg (inventory number 1946.3) attributed to Matthias Loth (1675-1738).
