Excellent condition

An extraordinary wooden sculpture depicting the Virgin Mary, standing full-length and lacquered in imitation white statuary marble.
It is a work of exceptional beauty, and the sculpting is as vigorous as it is precise in its details.
The movements of the body and the drapery, although extremely forceful to showcase the artist's skill, are rendered with incredible realism.
We are in the most beautiful Renaissance, and the plasticity of the forms has reached the pinnacle of perfection.
The sculpture, already complex in its drapery structure, is further enhanced by the Virgin's outstretched arm, which half-closes her five fingers in a truly admirable manner.
This is a splendid work created in the second half of the 16th century by a Roman sculptor of the Michelangelo school.
The strong influence of Buonarroti's works is evident, especially in the perfect, classically styled facial features, accentuated by the choice of lacquer imitating Carrara marble.
The sculpture is in excellent condition and presents itself in all its beauty, free of any missing parts or restorations.

We issue a stamped and signed certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the period, provenance, and all the characteristics of the work, drawn up by an antique dealer affiliated with FIMA (Italian Federation of Art Dealers).
