Catalan Gothic Virgin Polychrome wood

Important Catalan virgin from the 14th century in polychromed and gilded wood. Our sculpture is in an excellent state of conservation and has original polychromy. Our virgin is represented standing with a slight and elegant sway of her hips. The face with full, youthful features is framed by golden hair. The headdress, characteristic of the end of the 14th century, shows the use of starched canvas. The crown is old but undoubtedly later, as is the scepter pointing towards a representation of Mary. The Virgin's dress has diamond decorations common in Catalonia at the end of the 14th century, as do the filigrees of the headdress.
