Penitent Saint Mary Magdalene
ca. 1590/1600 | Ottavio Miseroni
It is particularly difficult to cut a statuette fully in the round from precious stone and at the same time take advantage of the material’s natural colouration. The finest such works were made by members of the Miseroni family of Milan.
