"Polychrome Wooden Sculpture Representing The Virgin, 17th Century"
A sculpture in the round carved in wood, depicting the Virgin standing, her hands slightly open in a posture of offering or receiving. She is dressed in a draped cloak with remnants of red, white, and gold polychromy. The face, partially erased, as well as certain parts of the garment, show wear revealing the raw wood. This type of representation, sober and frontal, is part of the European religious tradition of the 17th century, probably originating from a southern workshop.
