MOTHER OF GOD WITH CHILD, wood, Classicism, 2nd half of the 19th century Eighteenth century
A statue of the Virgin Mary with baby Jesus. The sculpture presents a type developed in the Middle Ages - the standing Madonna supports a little Christ on one arm. The way the robes are presented and the bodies of the figures (especially the face of the Madonna) indicate ancient reminiscences. The masterful design has been completed with a beautiful polychrome.
