Virgin Mary with the Infant Jesus: 19th-Century Neo-Gothic Bisque Porcelain Statuette
Christian faith and motherhood, captured in the beauty of porcelain.
Standing proudly, her son resting on her hip, the Blessed Virgin Mary and her son, the Infant Jesus, stand on this porcelain pedestal. With a maternal and touching expression, they are depicted in a Neo-Gothic style, aiming to revive a medieval aesthetic that contrasts with the classical styles more popular in the 19th century.
The monogrammed initials “M” and “A” are intertwined on the front of the base of this bisque porcelain group; they symbolize the “Hail Mary,” the angelic greeting given at the Annunciation to Mary.
In generally good condition, it is important to note that a few phalanges are missing from the raised hand of the infant Jesus blessing the crowd. But these flaws are quickly forgotten in the face of this statue’s beauty; the artist devoted true fervor to the creation of this bisque porcelain effigy, the quality of the Virgin’s drapery, the faces filled with a serene expression, and the depiction of her bare feet, a symbol of humility.
A true little treasure of 19th-century French Christian and religious craftsmanship, it will be perfect for a devotional collection or as a gift for a devout person. So don’t wait any longer—add this 19th-century porcelain biscuit statue of the Virgin Mary with the Child to your collection today.
