Description
Late 16th Century Carved Oak Figural Panel – Female Portrait Above Foliate Plinth
A naively carved late 16th-century oak figural panel of elongated form, depicting a female bust above a foliate plinth. The carving is stylised and expressive, with parted lips, almond-shaped eyes, and rhythmic detailing to the hair and bodice. The oak has aged to a dry, warm tone with surface wear and minor losses, enhancing its sculptural presence.
Likely produced for architectural or decorative use — perhaps as part of a coffer, screen, or domestic surround — the panel carries both symbolic and aesthetic resonance. The foliate base suggests continuity with Renaissance ornament, while the figure’s posture and gaze evoke quiet dignity.
A rare survival of late Tudor or early Continental woodcarving — ideal for collectors of figural sculpture, decorative fragments, or antique oak panels.
Provenance: Europe. Probably Belgium. 16th century.
Condition – as per the images. There is age-related surface wear and losses to the outer edges. With traces of old worm damage (long since gone but treated as a precautionary measure). Verso, the outer edges have been stabilised with a hardened wood filler (done historically) which cannot be seen from the front. The carving displays very well. A further detailed condition report is available upon request.
Size: Height 43 cm x Width 13 cm x Depth 2.5 cm (16 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ x 1″)
