Icon - .925 silver

The work presents a classical iconography of the Christian faith: the Virgin holding the sleeping Child. The peculiarity of the "Imagine" collection lies in the use of delicate tones and the precision of the incised lines, which impart to the metal a softness almost painterly. The contrast between the shiny silver of the veil and the satin finish of the skin creates a very elegant play of light.
