    19th-Century Plaster Statuette of Saint Joseph Holding the Fleur-de-Lis and the Infant Jesus

    A father devoted to his faith and his son.

    Crafted from plaster, this effigy of Saint Joseph with the Fleur-de-lis and the Infant Jesus is a product of late 19th-century French religious craftsmanship, featuring a neoclassical style.

    The father of Jesus is depicted here standing, dressed as a shepherd. The branch he holds is that of the lily, his attribute. It is the symbol that attests to his selection by God to be the husband of the Virgin Mary after being chosen by bringing a branch to the Temple in Jerusalem; the flower symbolizes his love and devotion.

    The infant Jesus is at the same height as his father, indicating Jesus’ stature and the significance of his future. Their heads are close together to symbolize love—that of a father for his son—and a father’s protection of his children; after all, Saint Joseph is the patron saint of fathers and of the Catholic Church!

    In very good overall condition, with slight flaking of the patina, which adds to its authenticity and history.

    Fast and careful shipping to France, Europe, and worldwide.
