Ivoren sculptuur van Christus, opgesteld tijdens de Exposition Rétrospective van 1873 in Tours, Frankrijk 1873

Gabriel Blaise's 1873 ivory sculpture, "Ivoren sculptuur van Christus," depicts a realistic and emotional portrayal of Christ on the cross. This small-scale work, measuring 247 mm in height and 173 mm in width, was exhibited at the Exposition Rétrospective in Tours, France. The sculpture's delicate detail, particularly in the facial features and the flowing drapery, highlights the suffering and sacrifice of Christ, a common theme in religious art. Blaise, a French sculptor born in 1827, was known for his skillful rendering of human anatomy and his ability to evoke powerful emotions through his work.
