A gilt bronze sculpture depicts the standing Mourning Virgin, the warm gold surface darkened by patina in the recessed folds. She stands with her head tilted and eyes downcast, clasping her hands at her chest. She wears a hooded cloak over a long garment that falls in deep, heavy folds to a small circular base. Dark patina defines the recesses of the reflective gold drapery.
