“Baby Jesus”. Carved and polychrome wood. Spanish school, 17th century. Later pedestal. Christ is presented naked, with a slight contrapposto in the legs and hips that give some movement to the sculpture and with delicate flesh tones. He keeps his gaze fixed forward, while raising one arm in an attitude of blessing, and holds a golden orb alluding to Creation with the other hand. His curly, blond hair has a tuft in the centre of his head. The sculpture is enhanced by a pedestal, modern but inspired by Spanish Baroque models, formed by lines with a lot of movement and decorated with architectural elements of classical influence, among which the pairs of protruding volutes from the fronts stand out. Although the forelock is reminiscent of the works of Martínez Montañés, in this example the hair is clearly curly. Compare this work with works such as those preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts in Córdoba, with one in the Municipal Museum of La Roda, some from the Royal Monastery of Las Descalzas in Madrid, etc. This type of work was made to be worn, and was normally intended for a female religious setting (it was considered that female devotion should not be directed towards certain works or iconography of the Passion because it was too strong), or some private oratory in some important residence.
