Madonna

North Italian 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman with her head slightly bowed and her hands folded over the chest. She wears a hood or veil over her head that drapes around her face, and behind her head is a round halo. Her garment drapes down her body and her arms. The sculpture is made of light brown material with dark patches of patina. There are two small protrusions with holes on either side of the sculpture.
