Andalusian school from the 18th century. Circle of José Risueño (Granada, 1665-1721) Divine shepherdess. Sculpture in carved, polychrome and gilded wood. 41 x 44.5 x 32.5 cm. With faults. The theme of the Divine Shepherdess is an invocation of the Virgin Mary, represented as a heavenly shepherd, which emerged in Seville at the beginning of the 18th century. According to the vision of Fray Isidoro of Seville, the Virgin appears sitting on a rock, wearing a veil and a straw hat, dressed with a blue hand and a red tunic, a clear allusion to the clothes of the immaculate, she wears a white shepherd's coat and a crook , motifs linked to the bucolic atmosphere of the scene. A group of sheep representing the believers surround her with her.
