"Madonna In Prayer – Oil Painting On Copper"
A delightful collectible oil on copper painting, "Madonna Praying." This iconography was widespread during the 18th century in private devotional settings. The face is framed by a golden yellow veil that falls delicately over the shoulders. The facial expression is sweet, and the gaze is demurely directed downward. Her hands are clasped in front of her chest. A halo of light surrounds the Virgin's head, highlighting the divine nature of the figure.
Italian School, 18th-19th century, framed in carved and gilded wood from the early 20th century.
