Being a construction of your humble blogger Tepid Halibut, with the aim of posting one vintage slide image per day, from now until Kingdom Come. (Or until Mr Halibut gets bored.)

Saint Sebastian
Another Art slide with missing subject info.
My first guess was it's Saint Sebastian, who famously had is faith tested by being tied to a tree, and having arrows fired at him. But, the lack of arrows rather worries me.
What the slide does say is "F Coudray 1678-1727 Louvre" so that does narrow it down to François Coudray, and a quick check of Wikipedia turns up an image of this exact sculpture.
So, Yay for me.
Bonus - “Who put Bella down the wych elm?” Solved ?
