Spanish School, 18th century.
"Saint Ramon Nonato".
Carved wood.
The figure has been repainted.
Measurements: 137 cm. height.

Wood carving in round bulk of devotional character. The piece of elongated canon represents San Ramón Nonato, whom we recognize by the humble habit, by the tonsure that borders his head and the short beard, attributes that usually identify him. In his raised hand he probably held a monstrance that referred to the visit of Christ when he was on his deathbed, from whom he received Holy Communion. The folds of the tunic are skillfully draped, following naturalistic patterns of the late-baroque period. The bent leg gives a dynamic movement to the garment.
