Artist: Robert McCausland Ltd.

Theme: The Baptism of Christ by John the Baptist

Description:

Note the way the artist has portrayed Jesus' feet in the water.

The figures of Christ and John The Baptist are handpainted and kiln fired. The design is a stock pattern that dates back to the turn of the century. This type of painting requires at least two kiln firings, sometimes three. The face and hands of the figures are painted separately in a process that is so delicate it uses the technique of extracting paint with a needle. This is what give the flesh areas of the body their fine texture and photographic detail.
