German presses of this period were among the most technically advanced in Europe, producing richly coloured sacred images intended for Catholic households, chapels, and devotional altars. This edition displays all the hallmarks of high-quality German chromolithography: luminous tones, velvety shadows, precise colour layering, and a soft glowing halo rendered through multiple stone plates. The Virgin is shown in deep contemplation, her head bowed and a single tear resting on her cheek—a composition traditionally associated with the “Madonna of the Thumb.” Long attributed to the 17th-century Florentine master Carlo Dolci, some scholars now suggest the prototype may come from one of Dolci’s students.
