Original Religious Antique Artwork
Jesus Christ
by Mordroviori Nordroviosky
Date Unknown, pre-WWII
ONE OF A KIND
Style
This is not a painting or a sketch. The board is made of celluloid, and the strokes were made with a hot needle, burning into the material. The frame is made of Wormwood.
History
WWII Poland. This painting was given to an American GI from an unknown Polish refugee for fear of it being destroyed by the Nazis if she kept it. It is a minimum of 60 years old. Its history prior to that remains unknown. I am told that the Smithsonian Institution appraised it for $10,000 in 1974. I have no documents to go with the piece.
