A Marvelous Find
I just had to share a purchase I made this morning.
I have been searching for wooden madonnas for a while now, after having fallen completely in love with a Heuvelmans madonna several months ago. It was a wood and resin reproduction of the bronze/ivory original. I haven’t been able to find another since.
However, I did spot a sweet madonna in a hinged case - just under 5″ tall. And the nicest thing was that she belonged to the late Eudice Shapiro, who passed away in September.
I think I’d have bought her anyway. But knowing that she belonged to such an extraordinary woman makes her that much more special.
