This exceptional antique religious sculpture of the Virgin of the Divine Shepherdess (<em data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"933\">Divina Pastora<\/em>) from the 18th-century Andalusian School is one of those rare finds that captivate at first sight.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1371\">Hand-carved in wood and painted in polychrome, this sacred figure represents the Virgin Mary as a serene shepherdess \u2014 a beloved icon in Southern Spain that merges divine tenderness with rural simplicity. This depiction resonates deeply with the faithful, embodying a protective and maternal presence, often accompanied by lambs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1373\" data-end=\"1754\">The sculpture preserves rare and delicate original elements: a wide lace hat, long ribbons, and a corset crafted from original 18th-century paper and fabric \u2014 fragile yet powerfully evocative. Key areas like the face, hands, and one foot have been expertly and respectfully restored, maintaining the historical character while subtly bringing back its former grace.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1756\" data-end=\"2124\">Measuring <strong data-start=\"1766\" data-end=\"1781\">120 cm tall<\/strong> (with a seated height of 82 cm and a 62 cm arm span), this sculpture has a quiet but magnetic presence. With open arms and calm gaze, she emanates both protection and spiritual intimacy. Whether placed in a collector\u2019s interior, a devotional corner, or an art-focused setting, she transforms any space with her quiet power and deep narrative.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2126\" data-end=\"2353\">Looking for a truly unique <strong data-start=\"2153\" data-end=\"2175\">Virgin Mary statue<\/strong>, a <strong data-start=\"2179\" data-end=\"2209\">Spanish religious artifact<\/strong>, or a <strong data-start=\"2216\" data-end=\"2248\">collectible sacred art piece<\/strong>?
