A pair of extremely fine Northern European carved and polychrome decorated wood figures of angels, probably late 17th century, each portrayed as loosely draped and kneeling amongst clouds, with trumpets held in their left hands, 110cm high Bidders from the UK and outside of the European Union should be aware that additional import charges may apply The dramatic pose and composition of these angels, along with the exaggerated, long faces, the sensuous treatment of the loose and unkempt hair and the schematised swirl of heavenly cloud upon which they kneel are all indicative of high Baroque sculpture, and the models are indeed typical of Austrian and German examples of the late 17th and early 18th century A pair of comparable Austrian sculpted limewood models of angels, of early 18th century date and in similar poses were sold at Christie's Amsterdam in 2012
