Celebrate your faith under the protection of the Virgin Mary during the Immaculate Conception!

Depicted in a baroque style with naive features derived from late 19th-century Spanish religious folk art, this polychrome plaster statue of the Virgin is of astonishing quality and extremely detailed. Her flowing hair and drapery are adorned with prayerful poses and her gaze raised to the heavens with dilated pupils are representative of the depiction of the Immaculate Conception or the Virgin of the Apocalypse.

Praying on a cloud, a symbol of purity and divine election, the Virgin is clothed in the sun (orange), hope (green), and eternity (blue). Her facial expression resembles that of ecstasy, the moment when she saw God and joined her hands in prayer for humanity. Standing on a crescent moon, she is accompanied by cherubic angels, as depicted in the Immaculate Conception by Murillo, a 17th-century Spanish artist.

This statue is much more than a devotional object; it is a true work of art, a product of late 19th-century Spanish Christian folk craftsmanship. The Virgin in prayer stands on a crescent moon and is surrounded by cherubs. Her reddish-brown base features baroque feet. It is a truly passionate ode to the life of the Virgin and to Christianity, in very good overall condition.

Those who are passionate about late 19th-century Spanish religious craftsmanship and the representation of the Immaculate Conception should not hesitate to adopt this polychrome plaster sculpture of the Virgin today!
