Virgin And Child In Limestone – Oratory Sculpture – 18th Century

A limestone sculpture depicting the Virgin and Child, a 18th-century French work. Intended for display in a small oratory or a facade niche, this statue features beautiful, flowing drapery characteristic of southern Baroque religious sculpture.

The Virgin holds the Infant Jesus in her arms, in a pose marked by tenderness and reverence. Traces of wear and the natural patina bear witness to long-term exposure, lending it an authentic charm and a remarkable presence.

This work evokes the devotional statues once found in the villages of Provence and Languedoc, placed in private shrines or on the facades of houses.
