Early 18th-century carved, polychrome, and gilded walnut bust of a bishop.
It depicts a bishop in bust form, wearing a cape and mitre.
A niche for relics is located in the center of the bust. This is a high-quality, single-piece sculpture with a remarkably realistic face.
Some polychromy remains on the entire sculpture. It is a decorative work of high quality and in good condition.
Note that there is wood filler around the edge of the niche and underneath, as seen in the last photos.
Its provenance is clear; it comes from an estate in the Lorient region of Brittany and previously belonged to the early period art expert Guillaume Ruillier.
