Bazoilles, church - holy
Saint in prayer.
This statue could represent Saint Anne or the Virgin Mary depending on certain symbolic elements. Here are some ideas based on the visible characteristics:
The blue habit and veil: The blue veil is traditionally associated with the Virgin Mary, although it can also be worn by other saints in Christian iconography.
The book placed on a lectern: This detail could evoke a moment of devotion or religious teaching. If the book is the Bible, this reinforces the hypothesis of Mary, often represented during the Annunciation, or of Saint Anne instructing the young Mary.
The soft colors (red and blue): These are typical of representations of the Virgin in religious art.
