Christian faith and motherhood, captured in the beauty of porcelain.

Proudly standing with her son on her hip, the Virgin Mary and her son, the Child Jesus, stand on this porcelain pedestal. Their maternal and touching expressions are rendered in a Neo-Gothic style, aiming to revive a medieval aesthetic, a departure from the classical styles more popular in the 19th century.

The monogrammed initials M and A are intertwined on the front of the base of this biscuit porcelain group, symbolizing the "Ave Maria," the angelic salutation at the Annunciation of Mary.

In good overall condition, it is worth noting that a few fingers are missing from the raised hand of the infant Jesus blessing the crowd. But these flaws are quickly forgotten in the face of this statue's beauty. The artist devoted genuine passion to creating this porcelain bisque effigy, from the quality of the Virgin's drapery and the serene expressions on her face to the depiction of her bare feet, a symbol of humility.

A true little treasure of 19th-century French Christian and religious craftsmanship, it would be perfect in a religious cabinet or as a gift for a devout person. So don't wait any longer, acquire this 19th-century porcelain bisque statue of the Virgin Mary and Child today.
