Polychrome Wooden Sculpture Of The Virgin In Prayer – 18th Century

An elegant devotional sculpture in carved and polychrome wood, depicting the Virgin in prayer.Dating from the second half of the 18th century, it retains much of its original polychromy, with delicate gilded highlights and pigments that testify to its quality and sacred purpose.
The face conveys sweetness and devotion, while the joined hands emphasize the work’s spiritual character. The drapery of the garments shows the late Baroque refinement, already leaning towards the proto-Neoclassical taste.
Good overall condition, with natural signs of age, wear, and small losses to the polychromy that confirm its authenticity.
An ideal piece for collectors of sacred art and refined interiors, radiating intensity and devotion.
