"The Veiled Virgin" is a famous marble sculpture created by Italian sculptor Giovanni Strazza in the 19th century. The sculpture depicts the figure of a veiled woman with her face and body covered by a delicate, translucent veil. The sculpture is known for its exquisite detail and the remarkable depiction of the draped fabric, which gives the impression of the veil being almost ethereal and flowing.

One of my favorite sculptures…his ability etch and carve the stone into what appears as a ultra fine cloth draped across her delicate features…the eyes appear to hint at the closed eye with the eyelashes and the brow line…

Are there ever going to be artists who work like this again?? Who can create something that is so delicate yet will live on for years? I hope so🫂
