Description from the seller

Religious sculpture representing the seated Virgin (Sedes Sapientiae), holding the Child Jesus on her lap. The composition, very hieratic, is directly inspired by the famous Black Madonna of Montserrat, venerated in Catalonia and regarded as one of the highest symbols of medieval Marian devotion.

The Virgin's face bears gravity, draped in a mantle with rigid folds typical of Romanesque art. The Child, frontal and blessing, rests on the mother's knees. The whole preserves a sober and monumental expressive force, characteristic of historicist interpretations.
