This sculpture of Virgin and Child from the 19th century takes up the characteristics of the Virgins of the Gothic period.
The Child Jesus held in her left arm, she opens her right hand.
Filled with sweetness, this sculpture with smiling faces is very soothing. The Child holds the globe with both hands and looks amused.
The peaceful Virgin is dressed in a red dress, a color that signifies her link with the terrestrial world, covered with a blue mantle, a spiritual color by analogy with the sky.
She wears a veil with rolled pleats.
Very decorative piece by its large size. Notch in the back. Posterior pedestal.
In very good condition, post-polychromy covers.
Comes from a large private collection.
