Assumption of the Virgin, Beautiful Antique Folk Art Retablo on Tin Weller jardiere has a familiarity about itI believe it is the Assumption of the Virgin represented here, Mary ascending to Heaven, flanked by angels. And what a beatific Mary she is! With a wonderful halo of white star like flowers arching above her, and fantastic billowing blue drapery, wrapping her like a swirl of sea. With tomb below draped in white cloth and dotted with roses, and a couple of palm trees rising from the green landscape below, mountains in the distance. A beauty. 13 7 8" x
