Sculpture of the Virgin and Child, French School, 17th century

Descriptio Carved and polychromed wood. Dimensions: 44 × 23 cm. Devotional sculpture carved from fruitwood, depicting the Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus. Originating from France, this 17th-century Baroque piece retains traces of its original polychromy, which enhance the delicacy of the faces and the folds of the mantle. The composition reflects the balance between tenderness and spirituality characteristic of French religious art of the period. The work is complete, with a charming antique patina.
