The Veiled Virgin by Italian sculptor Giovanni Strazza.
Seemingly its pretty featureless and nothing unusual until we start taking a closer look at it and yes its Marble.
The face is clear and features are never lost and its completely makes you feel the veil is transparent how the complete statue was sculpted out of Marble in the year 1850(rough data).
I have no words in describing this piece of work and it truly and remarkably represent the Italian Artists undoubted commitment to attention of details and craftsmanship.
I am adding the picture of with a side profile as well.
This is a true embodiment of Italian Unification (Risorgimento) movement.
