Figurine - 51cm - Museum Cast - Virgin in Prayer - Plaster

Praying Mary – patinated plaster – France – late 19th / early 20th century Professionally shipped – more than 1,000 five-star reviews worldwide. This is a museum-quality plaster cast, made by the Atelier de moulage of the former Musée de Sculpture Comparée at the Trocadéro in Paris. This workshop produced faithful casts of important European sculptures for museum display, teaching, and study. This understated sculpture depicts Mary with folded hands and downcast eyes. Her prayerful pose and the heavy folds of her mantle are consistent with late medieval depictions of the Virgin, possibly originally belonging to a Crucifixion group as a Vierge de Calvaire. Approximately 51 cm high; in good overall condition with normal signs of wear; the underside bears a metal maker’s plaque reading “Atelier de moulage du Musée de Sculpture Comparée”. Please look carefully at the photos; they form part of the description. Shipped with tracking.
