A NORTH ITALIAN SCULPTED WHITE MARBLE TONDO OF THE VIRGIN AND CHILD ENTHRONED LATER 16TH CENTURY The Christ Child portrayed seated on the draped Virgin's lap and rendered with pronounced musculature approximately 13.5cm diameter A relief of similar subject showing distinct similarities in handling, particularly of the Madonna's relatively full face and hair, appeared at Lempertz, 19th November 2016 (EUR 3,224). Condition Report: There is some natural wear and patination to the marble, it has darkened to a light brown. A section of the side of the panel (beside the Christ child) has an old repair of elliptical form, this appears quite subtly executed. There are a number of small losses around the edge of the relief, these are mostly old though there is one small slightly fresher chip to the rear. There is also a very small chip to the Virgins' right index finger. There is an iron pin to the centre of the rear, possibly remnants of a previous fixture for mounting. Condition Report Disclaimer
