Statue, lignea "Madonna col Bambino" - 41 cm - Carved wood painted in polychrome colors.

Hand-carved wooden statue, painted in polychrome colors, depicting the Madonna and Child. It stands on an octagonal base with initials or a monogram painted on the front. The work has stylistic features reminiscent of traditional devotional sculpture from South Tyrol, with the Virgin dressed in an ornate white robe and a blue mantle with gold motifs, holding the infant Jesus, who makes the sign of victory with two raised fingers. Given the variety of artisan workshops and sacred-art studios active in South Tyrol, Italy, between the 19th and 20th centuries, this is a popular devotional religious artwork, likely produced by an artisan or workshop (possibly in northern Italy) in the late 19th century, and sharing the style of traditional polychrome devotional sculptures. As you can also see in the photos, there are several areas of missing paint and scratches in the wood, and the crowns are missing. The overall condition is visible in all the photos shown.
