The Madonna of the Rosary

Style of Jacopo Sansovino

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a central figure of a seated woman draped in flowing robes, holding a child in her lap, flanked by two other figures kneeling at her feet. Above, there is a central cherubic figure framed by ornate scrollwork and two additional cherub-like faces. The sculpture is crafted from a dark material, likely metal, giving it a uniform dark gray tone with some lighter highlights due to reflections on its polished surface. The intricate details of clothing, facial expressions, and ornate designs are skillfully incorporated into the sculptural relief.
