Dressed in a tunic with a twirling drape, a young child is walking forward, carrying on his shoulders a small lamb which he holds by the legs. With an audacious technical virtuosity, this small Good Shepherd ivory amazes by the graphic and nervous treatment of the garment, the expressiveness of the face and the moving representation of his young flesh. Recently rediscovered, it is one the best ivory works by Christoph Daniel Schenck, an active sculptor for the Counter-Reformation in the region of Constance at the end of the XVIIth century.
