Virgin with lily

myminifactory

Virgin with lily transmits gentleness, her body slightly moves, the drapes of the dress are detailed and give a sense of movement, her facial expression does not transmit any sentimentality. The whole sculpture gives a sense of mystery to the audience admiring it. Delaplanche belongs to a group of young sculptors who manifested great attachment to scholarly compositions, a repugnance of academic dogmas like realism.
