The scene captures the Virgin Mary in a moment of deep, pensive grief, her head bowed and eyes cast downward. The title refers to the tiny glimpse of her thumb or finger peeking through her heavy blue mantle, a signature detail of this specific composition. Dolci was celebrated for his intense, high-finish religious works that focused on the emotional and spiritual interiority of his subjects. This postcard illustrates the smooth, idealized features and rich, dark palette that defined 17th-century Florentine devotional art, intended to inspire profound reflection and piety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Divided Back (circa 1905–1915)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Florence (Firenze)\u003cbr\u003eState or Region: Tuscany\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Italy \/ USA (Publisher locations)\u003cbr\u003eTopic: Carlo Dolci Art, La Madonna del Dito, Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, Italian Baroque, Religious Devotional Art\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Uncirculated\u003cbr\u003ePostage: None\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: divided back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Carlo Dolci (1616–1686)\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: G.
