SANTOS TRILOGY OF THE HOLY FAMILY (SAGRADA FAMILIA) Heavily weathered Santos trilogy of the Holy Family (Sagrada Familia), a traditional religious icon common in Spain and its former colonies, particularly the Philippines and Latin America. Hand-carved and polychromed over a gesso base, this group depicts Saint Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and a young Jesus Christ in the de tallado style, meaning the figures are fully carved rather than designed to be dressed in cloth. Lastly, the figures stand together on an ornate, hand-carved wooden base featuring floral or cherubic motifs. Height: 16.5 inches; width: 12 inches
