Refined papier-mâché statuette of a polychrome and gilded female figure, in an expressive and harmonious attitude. The figure is captured in a dynamic pose, with one hand held to her chest, wrapped in elegant drapery in gold and purple tones. The statuette rests on an integrated circular wooden base that is painted, and retains a beautiful, authentic patina.
The sculpture, with its classicizing taste, can be traced back to the devotional or allegorical sphere, typical of Italian production between the 17th and 18th centuries, a period in which papier-mâché was widely used for the creation of sculptures intended for domestic altars, niches or interior decorations.
