The piece features delicate hand painted floral motifs on the Virgin’s robes and a distinctive turquoise glazed klismos style chair, showcasing the artistic flair characteristic of mid to late 1800s European porcelain.

The figures are set upon a tiered, architectural plinth base adorned with classical swags and floral rosettes. Notable for its lifelike terracotta toned sandals and soft, expressive facial features, this sculpture reflects the influence of great Renaissance compositions captured in a domestic, decorative scale. The contrast between the crisp white porcelain and the subtle gilding on the base adds a touch of understated luxury.
