Description from the seller
Pietà – polychromed and gilded plaster – Europe – ca. 1900
Professionally shipped – more than 850 five-star reviews worldwide.
Impressive and expressive depiction of the Pieta, with Mary carrying the lifeless body of Christ on her lap. The composition is powerful and balanced, with much attention to the posture of the body, the facial expressions, and the anatomical details. The wounds are finely worked out and soberly polychromed. Mary's mantle is executed in deep blue with a gilded border, which gives the whole work a strong visual presence. The modeling is careful and precise, with a beautiful balance between detail and calm. A particularly appealing devotional image with great emotional poignancy.
Height 49 cm, in good condition with normal signs of use and aging.
Please look at the photos carefully, they are part of the description.
Sent with track & trace.
