This exquisite majolica sculpture of the Madonna with Child is a rare testament to early 20th-century Italian devotional art. Entirely hand-modeled and hand-painted, it displays a remarkable tenderness in expression and an extraordinary finesse in the drapery, revealing the practiced hand of a skilled artisan. The glazed surface features a natural crackle—an unmistakable sign of age and authenticity—adding depth, warmth, and an antique luminosity to the piece.
The sculpture is mounted on a handcrafted wooden support, designed for wall display and fully original to the artwork. Its harmonious palette, detailed modeling, and gentle spiritual presence make it an exceptional collector’s item, ideal for lovers of Italian sacred art and historical ceramics. Despite its age, the piece is preserved in beautiful condition, with all original elements intact.
