Bidspirit auction | A Modernist Stylised Carved Wood

A Modernist Stylised Carved Wood Sculpture of the Madonna and Child - A carved wood figural sculpture depicting the Madonna and Child in an elongated, stylised form. The figure of the Virgin Mary is rendered with simplified facial features and draped robes that taper into an integral, faceted octagonal base. She supports the infant Jesus, who is similarly abstracted. The piece demonstrates a modernist interpretation of traditional Gothic religious iconography. The surface bears the remnants of a dark brown finish or polychromy, which exhibits significant flaking and losses, exposing the underlying wood grain. A prominent horizontal join is visible at the neck. Height: 20.5 cm.
