Beautiful Madonna and Child carved in walnut circa 1500

Marie is represented standing, wearing a long dress and a coat with "broken" pleats on the front.
She wears a crown and we see long locks of wavy hair.
Her face is gentle with pretty, stretched almond eyes.
The Virgin carries Jesus on her left arm, simply wrapped in a part of the drape.
The child clings to Mary's hand.
He has a laughing, chubby face, styled with small, youthful curls.

This charming statuary group circa 1500 presents a fine workmanship characteristic of sculpture from the late Middle Ages.
