Half Life-Size Post Medieval Wooden Painted St George and Mount Statue
18th century A.D. A dynamic horse and mounted St George figure in wood; the helmetted rider with billowing cloak; gesso and polychrome; approximately half life-size; mounted on an elaborate custom-made display stand; repaired. 76 kg, 1.77 m high including stand (69 5/8 in.). English private collection. Likely derived from a religious scene. The timber shows some old insect flight holes and we are advised that this piece has been recently treated with Permethrin, as a precaution.
