"Sculpture Statue Virgin And Child Jesus Carved Boxwood 40cm Late 18th Century"
Carved boxwood statuette representing the Virgin Mary carrying the Child Jesus on her right arm, the latter holding the orb or globe in his hand, from the late 18th century. This sculpture is in good condition and is of superb quality. The quality of the drapery as well as the Virgin's hairstyle can make us think of an inspiration from the Italo-Flemish school of the 17th-18th centuries. Note: one foot of Jesus glued back together, one hand also, some cracks and wear of time on the wood, look carefully at the photos.
