The technical structure is described along with the technique of making tw o wooden polychromed sculptures of the Madonna and St. John the Evangelist, which date back to 1 4 2 5 -1 4 3 0 and come from the three-figure group of the Crucifixion from the chapel of 11 -thousand Virgins of the Church of Our Lady in Gdańsk. These sculptures have been subjected to preservation. On the basis of analysis of the sculpture's X-ray pictures, following their direct observation and studies on the type of wood, a presentation is made of the construction of the wooden base of the sculptures along with a description of the manner of sculpting. In order to establish the technical structure of the polychrome work, which in the case of both sculptures showed a presence of multi-layer repaintings, it was necessary to carry out detailed chemical studies. The results of these made it possible to determine the thickness of the layers, their sequence and composition (the type of pigments and binders used). There was a great resemblance of the technical aspect of the polychrome work of both sculptures. Chemical studies supplemented with a series of experiments and preservation undertakings made it possible to establish the chronology of the individual layers of the polychrome work and led to the conclusion that both the Madonna as well as the St. John the Evangelist sculptures had three layers of 19th-century repainting on the original 15th-century polychrome work. The final outcome is a description of the structure, appearance and the technique of execution of the original polychrome work and of the three repainted layers.
