Allegory of Faith 1755

"Allegory of Faith," a 1755 sculpture by Austrian sculptor Johann Georg Pinzel, depicts a female figure clothed in flowing drapery. The figure's pose suggests movement and dynamism, while the intricate details of the drapery showcase Pinzel's mastery of form and texture. This piece is a fine example of the Rococo style that flourished in the 18th century, characterized by its emphasis on elegance, ornamentation, and graceful curves.
