Bulto-"Madonna"

Carl O'Bergh

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing human figure with folded hands positioned near the chest. The figure is dressed in a long, flowing garment with a pattern of horizontal stripes and triangular shapes. The sculpture is painted in earthy tones with a light brown or beige hue. The face features simple yet defined features. The headdress or veil, as well as the base, are colored in a dark tone, likely blue or black. The material appears to be wood or a similar textured substance. The figure stands upright on a rectangular base.
