Saint Anne (fragment) 1761

"Saint Anne (fragment)" is a wooden sculpture by Johann Georg Pinzel, a prominent Austrian sculptor of the Rococo period. This unfinished work, likely created in 1761, depicts Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary, in a deeply expressive pose. Pinzel's characteristic use of dramatic realism and expressive detail are evident in the piece, highlighting the emotional intensity of the subject. The sculpture, sadly, is incomplete, leaving viewers to imagine the full form of Saint Anne.
