- Physical Description
- This standing figure of the Virgin turns slightly toward the left with her head bowed and hands clasped before her in a restrained expression of grief. Her robe is gilded, which contributes a regal note to this somber figure.
- Subject Matter
- This figure of the Virgin once accompanied a statue of the crucified Christ and a mourning St. John the Evangelist as part of a crucifixion group that decorated the interior of a church in Castile. The muted coloring of the figure together with her somber expression quietly convey her grief.
