Description from the seller

Devotional figure of the Virgin with the Child, carved in polychrome wood, dated to the first half of the 20th century, following traditional models of popular religious art. The image depicts the Virgin in a frontal pose, crowned, with tunic and mantle decorated in vivid tones, highlighting the use of reds, golds, and blues, applied using polychromy techniques in tempera or oil.

The Child Jesus, also crowned, appears in the arms of the Virgin, dressed in a short tunic and with a serene expression, in a symmetrical and compact composition. The sculpture displays careful artisanal work, with details in the face, hands, and folds of the clothing, although with slightly schematic features, typical of devotional workshop production.

The base is simple, possibly made of painted or stuccoed wood, designed to facilitate its placement on a domestic altar or display case. This piece reflects popular religious sentiment and the continuity of Baroque models reinterpreted in a more straightforward and accessible manner, very common in Spain during the first third of the 20th century.

Ideal for collectors of religious imagery, folk art, or decor with a traditional accent.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
