Virgin of candlestick. Spain, 20th century.
Wooden candlestick structure. Head and hands in polychrome resin. Various fabrics.
Measurements: 107 cm (height).
Virgin Dolorosa, of candlestick with the head and hands of polychrome resin, dressed in luxurious cloth clothes in different colours, with decorations of golden thread. Decorated with a crown and costume jewellery.
The candlestick virgins are so called because the three pieces are assembled in a wooden candlestick, a kind of truncated cone structure on which the head sits and which allows the hands to articulate to a certain extent, as can be seen in the figure on the right. In a second stage, the work is completed by dressing the image, usually with luxurious clothing.
