A round sculpture depicting the Immaculate Virgin standing on clouds and cherub heads, her hands clasped in prayer and her gaze raised. The drapery, rendered in broad folds and embellished with gilding, creates an upward movement that reinforces the figure’s spirituality. The polychromy features warm tones and burnished gold, highlighting the expressive quality of the serene and devout face.
