High Renaissance (a period encompassing the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the 17th century). Southern European School or Religious Folk Art. Subject: Sacred female figure (probably a Virgin), recognizable by her veil and the movement of the drapery. Material: Solid period wood with a very beautiful natural brown patina. Dimensions: 38 cm x 21 cm x 8 cm.

Authentic piece showing traces of time that add to its charm. Missing: The right hand as well as the attribute (probably the Child Jesus) on the left arm are absent. Structure: Old wormholes visible throughout the piece, indicating its age. Presence of a cavity at the back or base (typical of the original mounting on an altar or pedestal).

Why is this piece interesting? "High Renaissance" objects are highly sought after for their spiritual aspect and raw aesthetics. Despite the missing parts, the quality of the sculpture and the expressive strength of the face make it a character piece for a classic interior or a cabinet of curiosities.
