Devotional Statuette of the Virgin and Child

Netherlandish (Artist)
ca. 1520 (Early Modern)
painted and gilded wood (pine)
(Renaissance Europe )

Small, simply carved, painted wooden statuettes of the Virgin and also of popular saints were produced in great numbers by workshops in and around Mechelen. They were decorative and inexpensive and therefore ideal for the home as aides to personal devotions.
