Small painting (on bronze) representing Christ in the Bonds*, in a finely chiseled and openwork bronze frame, from the 17th century Haute Epoque period.
This painting is in good general condition, in its original state. The frame had to be set all around with small stones.
Note: some small paint losses, scratches and wear over time, see photos.
or Christ in Bonds is an artistic representation of Jesus, awaiting his torture, during an episode of the Passion, interposed between two scenes (or "stations") of the Stations of the Cross: Jesus is stripped of his clothes and watered with gall (station 10) and Jesus is nailed to the cross (station 11). On an artistic level, the Christ of Pity or Christ in Bonds is represented seated stripped of his clothes (his tunic is generally represented partially covering the rock on which he is seated) before undergoing the Crucifixion on Golgotha. His wrists and ankles are bound by a rope. Naturally, this representation may include variations depending on the work.
