TITLE: Retablo San Antonio de Padua
MATERIAL: oil on tin APPROXIMATE SIZE: 10 X13 1/4 inches ESTIMATED AGE: 110 years old CONDITION: good -- with scattered small imperfections as shown in the enlargement. There are scratch marks right above and to the left of the cherub's head (not to be confused with his wings). There are scratches in the clouds located in the top left corner. There are some specks of fallen paint on the saint's left hand. PRE-AUCTION PRICE: $ 1,200 dollars SHIPPING: $ 34 dollars ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This is not your typical San Antoio de Padua retablo. It is of good size, appealing faces, and bright colors. Not commonly seen is the cherub on the lower left holding the framed name of San Antonio. Saint Anthony is commonly known as the patron saint for finding spouses for single girls. He also is known for assisting in finding misplaced items. |
