Description :

c.1930 Venetian Plaster Holy Family + Painted Shepherd Figurine

This lot includes a vintage painted plaster sculpture of the Holy Family, believed to date to circa 1930 and marked "Venice." The piece features Joseph, Mary, and a youthful Christ figure in a serene devotional pose, with original hand-painted finish showing desirable age wear and patina. The trio is mounted to an integrated base with scalloped edges, adding to its ecclesiastical charm.

Also included is a smaller, whimsically rendered painted plaster shepherd figure playing a flute, in rustic tones of green and white. Both figures exhibit notable paint loss and wear consistent with age.
Holy Family base approx. 11.25" W x 5.25" D x 13.25" H
Shepherd: approx. 7.25" H
Please review photos for condition.
