Virgin Of Humility - 16th Century

From the 14th century, representations of the Virgin of Humility gradually replaced those of the Virgin in Majesty, seated on her throne as it should be and dominating the terrestrial world. The Black Death indeed invites creations that are more humble and closer to the suffering people.
The throne disappears, the face shows more humanity and therefore proximity and the feet are sometimes bare.
Our carved walnut Virgin is seated, back hollow. With a veil draped over the back of her head, she is dressed in a belted dress and a coat hung over her chest, one side of which falls to the front. The Child she carried on her lap has disappeared.
A Spanish work from the second half of the 16th century.

Dimensions of 64.5 cm high, 32 wide and 32 cm deep.
Note gaps, accidents and old wormholes.
A piece appraised by Ms. Laurence FLIGNY
