A 71 cm tall bronze depiction of Madonna is a characteristic piece of religious small sculpture, which shows the Virgin Mary with her child in an intimate, loving composition. The contrast between the dark patina of the bronze and the white marble base strongly emphasizes the solemn nature of the statue. The Madonna holds Jesus in a long cloak, bending forward gently, with one hand clinging to his mother and the other hand raised in blessing. The work simultaneously carries the classical iconographic traditions and the modernized, realistic language of form that characterizes the sculpture of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Although the specific author of the statue cannot be identified, based on its genre and execution, it can be linked to an Italian or Austrian academic foundry. In both domestic and international art markets, similar Madonna-Child bronze sculptures are sought-after pieces, especially if they have survived in good condition with their original marble base.
