Virgin And Child. Boxwood. Germany, 18th Century
A sculpture of the Virgin and Child in the style of Central European devotional art, featuring an elegant composition, meticulous rendering of the folds, and fine carving. Boxwood was highly prized for its density, hardness, and texture, which made it particularly well-suited for high-quality carving. Note a unique iconographic element: the bird, a symbol of the Passion and the coming Redemption. The piece has two longitudinal cracks as well as a slight structural separation on the back.
