Polychrome Porcelain Figure of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Vieux Paris
Vieux Paris porcelain, unmarked.
France, mid-19th century.
Devotional figure of the Virgin Mary standing barefoot on a rectangular plinth, displaying the Immaculate Heart on her chest. Executed in glazed porcelain with hand-painted decoration in blue, red, green, and gold. The figure is robed in a white veil, light blue cloak with gilt edging, and a red inner tunic. The base is decorated with purple linear and floral motifs and accented at the corners with scrolls.
Polychroom porseleinen beeld van het Onbevlekt Hart van Maria, Vieux Paris.
Vieux Paris porselein, ongemerkt. Frankrijk, midden 19e eeuw.
Devotiebeeld van de Maagd Maria, blootsvoets staand op een rechthoekige plint, met het Onbevlekt Hart zichtbaar op de borst. Uitgevoerd in geglazuurd porselein met handgeschilderde decoratie in blauw, rood, groen en goud. Maria draagt een witte sluier, een lichtblauwe mantel met vergulde randen en een rode ondertuniek. De voet is versierd met paarse lijn- en bloemmotieven en heeft rolwerkaccenten op de hoeken.
29 cm. high.
Note:
The representation of the Immaculate Heart, encircled by rays and a crown of thorns, reflects Catholic devotional imagery promoted in France after the 1830s. This figure, painted in a typical Vieux Paris palette, would have been intended for personal devotion. The square-form pedestal with purple scrollwork is characteristic of mid-19th century decorative religious porcelain produced by smaller Parisian manufactories working outside the major firms.
