Grödnertal / Val Gardena – Südtirol - Sculpture, Madonna mit Kind – Monumentale Holzschnitzerei - XL - 72 cm - Gilt wood

Madonna with Child, monumental fully dimensional wooden sculpture.
20th century, probably 1960s to 1980s.
Solid wood, hand-carved; stylistically attributed to the Grödner/Val Gardena carving tradition from South Tyrol.
Height: about 72 cm.
Without signature or provenance documentation; a precise workshop attribution is not possible.
Completely newly prepared and revarnished with gesso priming, gold finish and a high-gloss surface.
The current gold finish is modern and applied later; no original historical gilding.
Faces, hair, hands, feet and the lively drapery are carved in relief; the back is also fully finished.
