"Virgin And Child In Polychrome Wood 18th Century"
Superb 18th century Virgin and Child in polychrome carved wood. The Virgin stands full-length, trampling on a terrace, trampling the serpent of evil and holding the infant Jesus in her arm. "The Virgin crushing the serpent not only overthrows the symbolism of the spirit of evil, but also heresy." Beautiful original polychrome. Good condition (missing the right forearm of the infant Jesus).
