Small Madonna Dimensions: 18.5x22.2x3.3 cm.

The plaque features an image of a half length Virgin Mary in profile, looking to her left. She is wearing a veil with a few strands of hair poking out of it. Here, there are no halos or other iconographic elements to show that this figure is the Virgin Mary. But the position of the veil on her head and the classic profile of her face leaves us in non doubt that this is the Madonna. The style of this plaque is typical of the religious taste of the 1950s when compositions were particularly sober and tended to avoid "official" iconography by focusing on the expressions of the figures to communicate the importance of intimate meditation and prayer .
