Job

The suffering of the sculpted Job is highlighted by the abscesses that cover his skin. The abscesses were sculpted from separate pieces of wood, which were then glued to the statue, primed and painted. The sculptor knew the subject: the tones of bloodshot and festering skin and the ragged surface of the abscess have been carefully reproduced. Originally, there were more abscesses. The dark circular marks in the X-ray indicate areas where glued abscesses have come off. In addition, there probably used to be abscesses in the areas where the paint has disappeared altogether.

The nails at the bottom hold a broken part of the leg, and there are also two wedge-like pieces of wood next to the feet.
