This single marble round uses several depths of carving. The Virgin’s head projects almost fully into the round, while the figures behind her are reduced to much shallower forms.

How to use the model

Examine the work from more than one angle.

Use the 3D view to inspect the overall form, then zoom in to compare surface, joins, and tool marks. Lighting controls can make shallow carving and material changes easier to see.
