The Virgin displays a youthful and serene face, in a posture of prayer, wearing a reddish tunic and a dark mantle with traces of gilding in the Baroque style. The original period silver crown is particularly noteworthy, a piece of metalwork that enhances the overall elegance and adds artistic and devotional value. The work retains its original polychromy and patina; the current base is later and does not date from the carving's period. 55 cm high, 22 cm wide, crown 13 x 9 cm, total height 75 cm See less
