The Virgin and Child

This terracotta statuette representing the Virgin and Child is made in Italy (Florence) in the second quarter of the 16th century. Images of the Virgin and Child were found in virtually every noble household in 15th-century Florence. They acted as a focus for personal devotion and were thought to protect the family from harm.
