About the Item

France / 18th century / Statue of the Virgin Mary kneeling on a cloud / Polychrome, oak / Antique / Religious An 18th century oak statue with its original polychromy depicting Mary kneeling on a cloud. The right arm and crown are missing. This statue comes with the original certificate from the antique dealer who sold it in 1978. The image shows a religious statue of the Virgin Mary, specifically likely representing Our Lady of the Rosary, standing on a cloud. This statue is a devotional object within the Catholic faith, serving as a focal point for prayer and reflection. The statue was made of polychromed oak wood, in shades of gold, blue, white, and brown. It shows Mary in a flowing robe and possibly armor, with a serene expression.  Our Lady of the Rosary is a title of the Virgin Mary associated with the practice of praying the Rosary. The feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated on October 7th. The statue's presence on a cloud is a common motif in depictions of Mary, symbolizing her heavenly nature and role as an intercessor between God and humanity.
