Fantastic Old Carving of Woman with Long Hair and Tiny Hands Jens Quisgaard Both pieces are signed on

Both pieces are signed on the bottom with original stickers attached as well

but it's got a really nice softness to the color

The painting has not been touched

with pencil (and some erasure marks) underneath

And then this fabulous all-seeing woman at the bottom with cropped hair and staff looking one part scholar

Fantastic Old Carving of Woman with Long Hair and Tiny Hands Jens Quisgaard Both pieces are signed onOne of my very favorite carvings I've had, and quite an old one, found in Maine and made of pine I believe. For me, it all hinges on those tiny tiny hands, clasped just below her waist, exactly where her long cloak of hair ends, and exactly where her skirt splits, falling in waves on either side and revealing the underskirt below and quite undermining any sense of primness. When I found her she immediately made me think of Donatello's Mary Magdalene.
