Ivory Virgin And Child – France, 19th Century, Ca. 1820–1880 – Height: 30 Cm
An elegant religious sculpture depicting the Virgin and Child, carved in the round from ivory. The Virgin holds the Baby Jesus in her arms in a composition imbued with tenderness and serenity.

The style and quality of execution are in keeping with the tradition of 19th-century European religious sculpture, with stylistic affinities to French works, particularly the ivory-carving tradition of Dieppe.
