18th Century Virgin And Child Carved In Lime Wood

Religious sculpture depicting the Virgin Mary standing, holding the Infant Jesus on her left arm. The whole is carved from linden, a species prized for its flexibility and fine grain. Traces of polychromy and gilding are still visible, particularly in the draperies and skin tones. The work of the modeling, the movement of the fabrics, and the faces reflect the meticulous execution characteristic of 18th-century devotional workshops.
