Virgin and Child
Photo © Martin Crampin, Imaging the Bible in Wales
about 1920-1928
Wooden work piece.
size: 40 cm (height) [approx]
artist: possibly Eric Gill
artist: probably Theodore Baily
Caldey Abbey, Caldey Island
Abbey common room
The carving closely resembles an Orthodox icon, and has been attributed to Eric Gill. However Gill's friend Dom Theodore Baily, a monk of Caldey, was influenced by Orthodox iconography, and it is perhaps more likely that the carving is by Baily, rather than Gill.
