The work in question, originally intended for domestic devotion, presents strong stylistic similarities with the clay works created by Domenico Piò (Bologna, 1715-1799), an artist still linked to the baroque taste and son of the more famous Angelo Gabriello Piò (Bologna, 1690 -1770).

Excellent state of conservation, both in terms of plastic and colour.
