Religious Sculpture Virgin And Child Wood 17th Century

Religious sculpture representing the Virgin holding the Child Jesus. Made of carved wood, it is part of the tradition of domestic religious objects of the 17th century, a period during which these figures accompanied daily prayer in homes. The treatment of the drapes and faces reflects a search for simplicity in keeping with the regional productions of its time. The patina and the marks of time bear witness to its antiquity, while preserving the legibility of the scene.
