Child Jesus blessing, Spanish School, early 18th century.

Descriptio Polychrome wood sculpture. Dimensions: 25 x 23 x 21 cm, without base. Freestanding figure of the nude Christ Child, seated on a velvet-covered cylindrical support and partially covered with a bluish-gray loincloth. The figure shows open arms in an attitude of blessing and welcome, with the head gently turned to one side and a kind, childlike expression. The hair is rendered in curly strands, and the polychromy has a glossy finish on the flesh tones, accentuating the rounded modeling of the body and the devotional effect of the piece.
