Madonna And Child 17th Century In Boxwood

Madonna and Child carved in boxwood. Beautiful expression of the faces and nice work of the folds. One will be able to notice the serine face, of the virgin and of the tender child looking at his mother. The work of waving the virgin's hair is beautifully crafted and mastered. Note also the contrapposto position of the Virgin to bring balance to the sculpture, with the child Jesus she carries in her arm. Finally the drape of the virgin gives a fluidity with drape starting from the bottom to launch the sculpture and a drape at the level of the size in the continuity of the child to decide between the sculpture between the top and the bottom.
