This beautiful vintage devotional plaque features a serene depiction of the Madonna in prayer, inspired by Renaissance-style portraiture, possibly modeled after works by artists like Filippo Lippi or Botticelli. The figure is rendered in delicate, soft tones with fine detailing, and set against a tranquil landscape background.
The image is bordered by an ornate, embossed gilded frame with raised relief elements and rich color accents in turquoise and burgundy. It is mounted on a solid arched wooden panel with a stamped mark on the reverse: “Made in Italy”, indicating mid-century Italian craftsmanship, likely from the 1950s–1970s. A gold hanging cord is attached for wall display.
