Seated female figure (Allegory of Orthodoxy) 1748

"Seated Female Figure (Allegory of Orthodoxy)" is a 1748 wood sculpture by the Austrian artist Johann Georg Pinzel. The Baroque style piece depicts a woman in a voluminous, golden robe and drapery sitting on a spiraled, ornate base. Her dramatic pose and expressive features, with her head tilted back, suggest a strong sense of emotion, possibly representing devotion or spiritual enlightenment. The elaborate, gilded surface of the sculpture contributes to the overall feeling of grandeur and religious significance.
