Bas-relief "The Virgin adoring the Child with... Lot 232

Bas-relief "The Virgin adoring the Child with Saint John the Baptist" in terracotta of pyramidal composition Mary with joined hands, looking at her son... The haloed Virgin with a beautiful face inscribed in a perfect oval, large bulging forehead, straight nose, perfectly hemmed mouth, eyes lowered towards her son. She is dressed in a long veil and a long dress belted at the waist. The child is lying down with his head haloed, turned towards us in a slightly facetious attitude. Saint John the Baptist, a haloed child with a chubby face and curly hair, is leaning forward, looking into the distance as if to echo the fateful future of the savior. Here evoked by the representation of Golgotha and the Deposition... Old Italian work in the taste of Antonio Rossellino (small lack of materials, accidents...) H: 34,5-W: 22,5 cm
