Very beautiful sculpted alabaster virgin from the 17th century Trapani workshop.
a rare applique sculpture to come across on the antiques market.
our virgin with the radiant face is a Puríssima conception, she seems to be in levitation.
the sculpture of the alabaster is remarkable so much the drapery is searched and forms quite spectacular lace patterns.
it was to be integrated into a larger sculptural ensemble at one time.
take a good look at the superb drapery work.
the head was glued on a long time ago as well as a piece on the right side easily visible in the photos.
the fact remains that our virgin in ecstasy is of great beauty.
very beautiful old patina.
dimensions: 36 cm high
