About this piece
What it shows
Christ calls Peter and Andrew from their nets: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” The carving places him beside the hull of their boat with one arm reaching out, the moment just before the brothers leave everything behind.
How it is made
The boat is hollowed from the same block as the figure, its planking suggested with the gouge, and the carved water at its keel runs into the base. It is an ambitious composition with a great deal of open space, so it needs well-seasoned wood.
