Isabel La Católica

Monumental statue depicting Queen Isabella the Catholic, reproducing her full-body likeness and crowned. The queen wears an adorned dress with a vibrant collar and a wide belt cinched at the waist like a sash over the skirt, revealing a slight contrapposto stance in her feet position. Her shoulders are covered by a cloak that also lifts up with her left hand, while her right hand supports the royal scepter. The face, framed by a headpiece and hair locks on both sides, reveals an adult woman with rounded features and plump cheeks, similar to those depicted by Domenico Fancelli in the sepulcher of the Catholic Monarchs at the Royal Chapel of Granada. The statue's base is carved in block form alongside it, made from the same material, and has applied the same polychromy to imitate bronze and dignify the piece. Currently, it stands on a large granite base.
