Figure - Virgen Policromada - 37 cm - Wood

It's a figure that embodies very well the popular devotional aesthetics of the mid-20th century. The carving, made of wood, shows a seated Virgin holding the Child on her lap. The sculptural work is simple and direct, with somewhat schematic forms and faces with marked features, typical of rural imagery and of the artisanal workshops of the era. The polychromy gives much of its character: the Virgin wears a crown and a mantle in red and green tones, applied with visible brushstrokes that reinforce its artisanal air. The Child, seated naturally on his mother's knee, wears a green tunic cinched with a yellow belt that introduces a touch of luminosity. The colors, intense but slightly worn by time, evoke the tradition of domestic images intended for family prayer spaces or small chapels. Taken together, the piece conveys closeness, simple devotion, and a charming popular appeal that clearly places it in the mid-20th century, when religious imagery continued to be developed with traditional techniques and a strong manual component. Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
