Virgin and child figure, circa 1700

Beautiful figure of the Virgin holding the Child and the globe of royalty. The elegance of the elongated figure combined with a sophisticated drapery show a work of the Italian-Flemish School in the late XVII th, early XVIII th century.

A hole on the top of the Virgin's head show the former presence of a crown, now lost, which was probably in silver.
