Sculpture of the Virgin Mary – Italian School, 17th Century

About the Item

A delicate limestone sculpture of the Virgin Mary, belonging to the 17th-century Italian school. The figure depicts the Virgin standing in a contemplative pose, with a serene and devout facial expression typical of the early Italian Baroque period. The sculpture exhibits a balanced composition and fine workmanship in the folds of the cloak, which slope naturally towards the base. The limestone, a porous and malleable material, allows for the sculptural details to be appreciated and offers a warm patina that highlights its age. Period: 17th century Origin: Italian School Material: Carved limestone Iconography: Virgin Mary standing, possibly in a prayerful or maternal pose Condition: Good overall condition with original patina; Minor flaws or erosions typical of its age, which do not affect the stability or aesthetics of the piece.
