The Sleep of Mary, Theotokos

A brief study of a small, polychromed sculpture possibly from Spain around the 18th century. The "Sleep of Mary" is also known as The Dormition, or more commonly, The Assumption. The Assumption refers to the moment when the Virgin Mary dies and is then taken up to heaven, body and soul.
