Monnik met kruis en boek (Willibrord?) 1800 - 1950

"Monnik met kruis en boek (Willibrord?)" is a sculpture by Eugène Lacomblé, a Belgian artist born in 1828. The sculpture depicts a monk holding a cross and a book, possibly depicting Saint Willibrord, an important figure in the history of Christianity in the Netherlands. The sculpture, dated between 1800 and 1950, is made of wood and stands at 27.5 cm in height. Lacomblé's style was influenced by the realism of the 19th century, which is evident in the detailed depiction of the monk's features and clothing. This work reflects the religious sentiment of the time and is a testament to the enduring artistic tradition of representing religious figures.
