Spectacular Large North Castile Madonna Medieval 15th Century, in polychromed wood - Carved polychrome wood. Dimensions 90 × 40 × 28 cm. The Virgin, on a decorated throne, holds the Child Jesus in her arms, both with expressions of serenity and frontality.

The figure, with influences from late Spanish Gothic, seeks to convey a strong spirituality, typical of devotional sculptures intended for private chapels in 16th century Spain.
