A carved polychrome sculpture of God the Father, South American, late 17th Century, the three quarter length figure of God supported by a cloud and three cherubs, polychromed and gilded using the traditional Hispanic method of 'Estofado' which is achieved when a layer of paint is applied over a layer of gold leaf and then scratched through to create a pattern.This carving probably formed part of a large altarpiece and the cavity in the head suggests that a metal halo was originally fixed there. This piece is possibly from Quito, which was the main centre for the production of religious sculpture in Latin America during the period of Spanish colonial rule. h.76cm
