Small gilt bronze statue of the Virgin Mary with veiled head and deep drapery folds, standing against a grey background.

The Virgin Mary

A small gilt bronze statuette of the Virgin Mary stands on a plain base, her head veiled and her body wrapped in a long, deeply folded mantle. Her hands are gathered at her chest beneath the cloth, and the drapery falls in rippling pleats that catch the light across the surface.

Español: La Virgen María, estatuilla de bronce dorado

Una pequeña estatuilla de bronce dorado muestra a la Virgen María de pie sobre una base sencilla, con la cabeza cubierta por un velo y el cuerpo envuelto en un manto largo de pliegues profundos. Sus manos quedan juntas sobre el pecho bajo la tela, y los drapeados caen en ondas que reflejan la luz.

Uma pequena estatueta em bronze dourado mostra a Virgem Maria de pé sobre uma base simples, com a cabeça coberta por um véu e o corpo envolto em um manto longo de dobras profundas. As mãos ficam juntas sobre o peito sob o tecido, e o drapeado cai em pregas que refletem a luz.
