Early 16th Century - Carved Wood - Flemish Sculpture Depicting Mary Magdalene
A Flemish sculpture from the Late Gothic period (early 16th century) depicting Mary Magdalene.
The sculpture features exquisite carving, which enhances its expressiveness and gestures, as well as the remarkable drapery of the robe.
The angular and bold carving of the face and eyes conveys a highly dramatic expression.
The gestures of the arms, equally splendid, are brought to life by the skillful rendering of details, especially in the hand reaching upward on the left.
The condition is excellent: aside from woodworm holes, the only missing part is a small portion of the base (which includes part of the figure’s feet).
Given its age, the condition can be considered perfect. Its dimensions also make it ideal for both enjoyment and placement.
