I gave this Kitchen Madonna as a gift to my mom and had it delivered to her in California. I was really wondering if the actual statue would look as lovely as the picture shown. And it did! My mom was so happy and loved it so much. She was so impressed with the details and even showed me through video chat how it looked and yes it looked just as beautiful as the picture. So much so that I'm ordering another one for myself! Highly recommend this statue. Such a beautiful reminder that before Lourdes, Fatima, and any other appearances, our Lady was first a humble homemaker and mother to our Lord.
