A delicate and evocative image of Marian devotion, this beeswax bust of the Virgin—dating to the early 19th century—is distinguished by the refinement of its modeling.
The bust belongs to the tradition of devotional wax sculpture, an art form prized for its ability to render facial features, the folds of drapery, and skin tones with extraordinary delicacy. Wax—a material highly responsive to light and color nuances—allows for an intimate, naturalistic finish.
 
An incised capital letter "F" appears on the back; this signature has not yet been definitively identified.
