Cut Paper, Devotional Image with the Virgin of Einsiedeln
This is a Cut paper. It is dated ca. 1750 and we acquired it in 1962. Its medium is pen and ink, brush and gouache, gold paint on cloth-covered cardboard. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
This cut paper image depicts the Virgin of Einsiedeln, a votive figure carved in black wood clothed in gold brocade and jewels, housed in a shrine of black marble in the Benedictine Abbey of Einsiedeln, Switzerland. Tradition holds that miraculous events became associated with the Abbey soon after the votive’s arrival in the ninth century; Einsiedeln has been an important pilgrimage site since then.
Its dimensions are
H x W: 21.5 × 14.5 cm (8 7/16 × 5 11/16 in.)
