angel (or a blonde baby jesus)

General Item Category: 
Art Deco and Art Nouveau
Medium - What is the item made out of (e.g. "silver")?: 
framed glass matted print
Price Paid (If known): 
$200
Size and dimensions of this item: 
13" x 17"
Condition: 
Excellent
History: 
I bought this print at an auction in Escanba, Michigan in 1981
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

This print is said to be of either a cherub or a blond baby Jesus, and was considered controversial in its time -- never had the baby Jesus been depicted with these features. The beauty of this piece (in my opinion) is the motif in the glass matte.
