This solid wood sculpture, in the round, depicts the Motherhood (Madonna and Child), characterized by soft, enveloping lines.

Subject and Style: The work depicts the Virgin Mary standing, tenderly holding the Baby Jesus, in an embrace that conveys protection and maternal affection. The sculptural style is highly expressive, with particular attention to the rendering of the drapery: the robes are enlivened by deep, flowing folds that lend dynamism to the figure and create interesting plays of light and shadow on the polished surface.

Material and Finish: The statue is carved from a single block of solid wood, finished with a polish that enhances its natural grain and warm amber color. The base clearly shows the cross-section of the trunk and the growth rings of the wood, a guarantee of the authenticity of the material.
