Sculptuur van albast en een sculptuur van marmer van Maria met kind, opgesteld op een tentoonstelling over religieuze objecten uit de middeleeuwen en renaissance in 1864 in Mechelen before 1866

The image depicts a pair of sculptures depicting the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus, captured in a photograph taken by Joseph Maes in 1864. The sculptures were displayed at an exhibition in Mechelen focused on religious objects from the Medieval and Renaissance eras. The two sculptures are carved from alabaster and marble, and showcase different styles and artistic techniques. This photograph provides a glimpse into the artistic landscape of 19th-century Belgium and highlights the enduring influence of religious imagery in art.
