Catawiki’s goal is to make special objects universally available. Our weekly auctions feature thousands of unusual, rare, and exceptional objects you won’t find in just any store. Rare and huge fabric rosette, hand embroidered and painted on both sides. An excellent conventual work, great testimony of the artistic work of a congregation located in central Italy.
On the front is Our Lady of Sorrows with the now Dead Christ, in the background an angel with a palm branch.
On the other side there is the Madonna ascending to heaven, flanked by two cherubs and a dove above her head; at the feet two women pray and admire the scene.

The generous size and technique make it a very valuable and hard to find piece. 67324095 Read more
