Bring timeless European reverence into your home with this exquisite antique French Madonna bust. Meticulously modeled after the serene, youthful countenance of the Virgin Mary in Michelangelo’s legendary Pietà, this sculpture captures a profound expression of graceful sorrow and quiet devotion.
Sourced from an estate in France, this stunning devotional bust features an intricately detailed, lace-trimmed veil draping softly over Mary's bowed head. The beautiful ivory-cream composite material has developed a rich, authentic aged patina over the decades, highlighting the deep folds of her robes and the soft contours of her face. The sculpture sits beautifully upon a dark, polished faux-marble pedestal base, giving it a commanding yet elegant presence. The piece is in wonderful vintage/antique condition with a beautiful natural aged patina, subtle surface texture, and character wear consistent with age. No major chips or cracks. It measures " x ".
Whether displayed on a home altar, nestled into a curated library bookshelf, or featured on a living room mantlepiece, this striking piece serves as both a profound spiritual icon and a beautiful work of classical European art.
