Early 19th century German Oil On Canvas depicting the Sorrowful Madonna expressing medieval piety with sensitive observation of the natural world to create new, a movingly human devotional image. By focusing on the head and hands of the Virgin against a simple black background, the artist gave the painting the detached and timeless quality of an icon, yet sensitively portrayed the Virgin's humanity; her eyes brimming over with sorrow and tears as she contemplates her son's suffering with a tender, absorbed gaze. No signature found and writing on verso as shown below. Condition: The painting has not been cleaned, the painting has been relined and crazing is noted. Frame is a period gilt wood and ornate frame, contemporary with the art and has a minor split in the wood atop.
Measurements: 10 7/8" H by 9 7/8" W, the painting is 7 5/8" H by 6 1/2" W.
