This is an amazing vintage statue. Our Lady stands holding a toddler Jesus in one arm and a book in the other. She is strikingly elegant with copious robes that flow around her. Our Lord looks to be 5 or 6 years old, has curly hair, and is nude in her arms. The skill of the artist can be seen in the graceful folds of her robes and the fine detailing on their hands and feet. The entire piece feels animated, as if the artist caught them in motion. Magnificent!
This is made of very subtly colored alabaster resin. It was originally attached to a pedestal and has residue on the base, but can stand freely. Please see pictures.
Condition: There is a small chip in Mary’s veil near her left eye. The statue also needs to be cleaned.
