Sculpture, Mourning Mary

Her head is tilted slightly upwards, and her hands are crossed in front of her chest. The figure was probably originally part of a crucifixion group. It shows signs of age-related damage and restorations; the base has been subsequently framed with carved moldings. Height: 69 cm. Provenance: Oetker Collection, Krefeld.
