"Virgin And Child In Carved Lime From The Beginning Of The 18th Century"
Elegant virgin and child in carved basswood. Essentially monoxyl sculpture. She carries the child on her left arm; the left knee slightly advanced. Its high belted tunic features elaborate, eventful pleating. The child, naked, carries the orb (terrestrial globe) in his right hand. The two faces are expressive, "antique" for the attentive mother, babyish and playful for her son. Quality work, French, from the beginning of the 18th century Very good size
