Important Virgin Mary Witnessing A Miracle

An imposing polychrome resin and plaster statue depicting a nun in ecstasy, her arms outstretched in a gesture of elevation. The figure stands upon a sculpted cloud, a symbol of spirituality and ascension, reinforcing the mystical character of the scene. The nun wears a black habit and matching veil, contrasting with the white of her wimple and delicately painted face. Her expression, turned towards heaven and imbued with fervor, is particularly refined: slightly rosy cheeks, raised gaze, and slightly parted mouth. The drapery of the garment has a beautiful movement, giving a sense of lightness despite the piece's imposing size. The original polychromy is still visible, with traces of wear, chips, and rubbing consistent with the age and liturgical or decorative use of the work. Nevertheless, the piece retains a very strong presence and a beautiful authenticity. This large statue, ideal for a private chapel, a charming interior, or a collector's display, is a fine example of early 20th-century religious statuary.
