Italian School, 17th/18th Century The Mater Dolorosa (Our Lady of Sorrows) - This intimate devotional painting depicts the Virgin Mary as the Mater Dolorosa. With her hands clasped in prayer and a single tear on her cheek, her downcast gaze conveys an expression of profound sorrow and piety. The artist employs a warm palette and delicate modeling to capture the emotional depth of the figure, set against a rich, textured gold background. The work is characteristic of the contemplative religious art produced in Italy during the Baroque era. Oil on panel, 48 x 33.5 cm. Dimensions 48 x 33.5 cm
