Bamberg Virgin Mary Statue

Description

While strolling through the old town of Bamberg, Germany, Dai Wynn spotted something interesting above this narrow street. A wall-mounted statue of a gold-crowned lady with a naked baby in her arms. She holds a gold mace in her right arm and shelters beneath what appears to be an umbrella. She wears a red robe with a blue coat, so I am assuming it is the Virgin Mary and Christ Child. The twin towers of Michaelsberg monastery dominate the skyline. Freehand ink sketch by Dai Wynn on rough surface texture 300gsm Arches cotton paper. 29.7 cm high by 21 cm wide by 0.1 cm deep approximately. A4 standard size.
