Large statue of the Virgin Mary in polychrome porcelain with gold highlights, resting on a green and gold base richly decorated with rococo motifs and the monogram AM (Ave Maria). Known as the Virgin of the Assumption, the Blessed Virgin Mary rests on a celestial globe, bruising the head of the serpent with her heel, symbolizing evil. Paris porcelain, mid-19th century.
Typical of the style of Jacob Petit, in vogue in the 1840s. Unsigned work by his workshop or by a follower.
Jacob Mardochée (known as Jacob Petit), born and died in Paris (1796-1868), was a French porcelain manufacturer of the 19th century. A pupil of Antoine-Jean Gros and then trained at the Sèvres factory, Jacob Petit specialized in luxury porcelain. His name remains associated with the originality of his production. Abundant and diverse, his pieces are sought-after today for their originality, the quality of their finish and the richness of their polychromy.
Very good overall condition, with beautiful polychromy and bright gilding in matte and gloss, with some wear. A small, discreet chip on the snake.
