Pa. German Chalkware Mary and Her Lamb

Mina Lowry

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a seated figure in a relaxed pose. The subject leans on one arm and rests its head on its hand. It is painted in various colors: light brownish tone for the skin, green for the clothes, and white and red accents on other parts of the attire or accessories. The material looks like painted ceramic or porcelain, giving it a glossy appearance. The sculpture resembles a small, lifelike figure with a soft, rounded form.
