Virgin of dress of the XVIII century. Modeled wax. Cloth vestments. Eighteenth century frame in carved and gilded wood. Measurements: 80 cm (total with crown); 117 x 88 x 17 cm (frame). The dress images are figures worked in detail only in the face and hands, on a structure of carved wood (in this case wax) to a greater or lesser extent. These processional images were cheaper than the entirely carved ones, so they were frequent all over Spain. The visible parts are covered with a thin layer of stucco and polychrome, while the rest is covered by real clothes. They are images that were especially liked for their naturalism, since by wearing authentic clothes a greater degree of realism was achieved than with the simply carved ones, which often did not have enough quality to achieve that degree of naturalism, so sought after in religious art since the Baroque period. Some of these "cap i pota", another name for this type of figures, were made articulated, in order to be able to change their position and dress them more easily. Dimensions 80 cm (total with crown); 117 x 88 x 17 cm (frame).
