Religious Devotional Painting: The Virgin Mary , Made Of Repoussé Solid Silver, With A Wooden Frame
A religious devotional piece for the home, depicting the Virgin Mary
crafted from repoussé solid silver—unhallmarked—set within an
early 18th-century frame of blackened carved wood.
The Virgin is depicted with her hands clasped over her chest, her gaze turned
toward the sky, standing on a crescent moon representing chastity and
purity, trampling the serpent that symbolizes original sin.
The radiant halo above Mary’s head refers to the Immaculate
Conception; two stars are missing.
In the Baroque style, note the dynamic drapery of the Virgin’s garments.
The drapery appears to float around her, creating an effect of
movement and lightness.
Dimensions of the Virgin: Height 24.5 cm x 11 cm
